Or it may just need the safeness of driver/database parameter
"interpolation", to get a "free" efficient safeguard against SQL
injection. As for myself, I have found no other way to obtain
driver/database parameter interpolation. So sometimes I use
prepared statements even for running a query only once. I am
unsure it is a widely used pattern, but SQL injection being quite
important to fight against, I think I may not be the only one.
