Indeed. However, you can prepare a statement by issuing a normal "prepare" command. Then later you can execute this statement using (query 'my-prepared-statement) I re-read the docs and I agree they're worded very badly. I'll try and improve the bit under "query". > Perhaps a sentence clarifying what "query" does would help.

Yeah, the current paragraph is just mumbling about prepare but not explaining anything.
