[Python-ideas] Improved support for prepared SQL statements

Hello, An interface for parameterised SQL statements (working with placeholders) is provided by the execute() method from the Cursor class at the moment. https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Cursor.execute I assume that the "SQL Statement Object" from the SQLite C interface is reused there already. http://sqlite.org/c3ref/stmt.html I imagine that it will be more efficient occasionally to offer also a base class like "prepared_statement" so that the parameter specification does not need to be parsed for every passed command. I suggest to improve corresponding preparation and compilation possibilities. https://bugs.python.org/issue22956 Regards, Markus
