Abstracted the prepared statement article to remove references to the second person and make references to the application or to developers.

<title>Prepared statements and stored procedures</title>

Many of the more mature databases support the concept of prepared
statements. What are they? You can think of them as a kind of compiled
template for the SQL that you want to run, that can be customized using
variable parameters. Prepared statements offer two major benefits:

will emulate for drivers that don't support them. This ensures that you
will be able to use the same data access paradigm regardless of the

If the database driver supports it, an application may also bind parameters for
output as well as input. Output parameters are typically used to retrieve
values from stored procedures. Output parameters are slightly more complex
to use than input parameters, in that you must know how large a given
parameter might be when you bind it. If the value turns out to be larger
than the size you suggested, an error is raised.

string 'hello' is passed into the stored procedure, and when it returns,
hello is replaced with the return value of the procedure.
