Prepared Statement Execution With Parameter Binding

via “prepared statement execution with parameter binding and plan caching”

MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. Started by core members of the original MySQL team, MariaDB actively works with outside developers to deliver the most featureful, stable, and sanely licensed open SQL server in the industry.

Unique: Separates parsing and optimization from execution, enabling plan caching and parameter binding. Supports both text protocol (PREPARE/EXECUTE) and binary protocol (COM_STMT_*) for prepared statements, with automatic SQL injection prevention via parameter binding.

vs others: More integrated than application-level parameterization; simpler than PostgreSQL's prepared statements but with less sophisticated plan adaptation
