I am trying to cut down on time the db spends compiling statements.
Using bind params
allows the query to look the same to the db, thus allowing it to not
parse it again. It's the
same use case that makes people want to use bind params anywhere. Am I
missing
something here? I'm a relative newbie to mysql and sqlalchemy, so I
may be missing information, but I'm
assuming that using a bindparam in sqlalchemy will result in a
prepared statement executed
using the assigned values that I want. If it is using a prepared
statement,
I'd expect the query to look something like
select * from table where limit=?
For Oracle, the rownum is simply part of the where clause, so I
wouldn't expect an issue with using
a bindparam for the limit.
