prepared statement

Pre-written official response

A prepared statement is a database query template with placeholder values that gets compiled once and executed multiple times with different parameters.

This approach improves performance by avoiding repeated parsing and provides security against SQL injection attacks, since user input is treated as data rather than executable code.

In a different context, a prepared statement is a written speech or response drafted in advance, typically issued by officials, lawyers, or public figures to ensure precise wording: The senator read from a prepared statement and took no questions.
