I was wondering if I should be using prepared statements for simple select queries?
Such as:
`SELECT * FROM `table_name`
With this, wouldn’t it be better to just do:
$db->query('SELECT * FROM `table_name`');
If the query is only run once (per script) and there are indeed no variables in it, it indeed doesn’t make much of a difference whether you use prepared statements or a one-off query.
