[TYPO3-dev] Questions about exec_PREPAREquery

[Stefan Frömken]

Hello list,

is there someone who can explain me a little bit about the new function 
exec_PREPAREDquery?

Is it faster? Does it use caching? Performance?

Is it only an optimization of SQL_Queries? (not faster, but a better 
style in code)

Is it the first step to include mysqli_prepare to TYPO3 in future?

In short: When or why should I use this function?

Stefan
