No. That also means you can't do it with DBI, because the DBI MySQL driver is built on top of the C API. (DBI supports the syntax, but MySQL doesn't take advantage of it, in the sense that it doesn't store query plans that can be reused when you prepare a statement.) The work on the MySQL 4.x query cache that's going on now may change this picture, but from my understanding of the cache, it's the *final* form of the query that is cached, not its form before data values are bound to the placeholders.
