Sometimes it is, sometimes the purpose of using a PreparedStatement is to
avoid escaping data yourself for a plain Statement execution. There are
potential performance penalties for using a "reusable" server side
prepared statement because it plans them with generic parameters, not
those supplied in your query. For this reason we want to be sure that
people will actually be reusing these statements before switching to this
mode. I believe the default prepareThreshold is set to 5 despite what the
documentation says.
