To use prepared statements, you'll have to typecast the values manually in your queries, as shown in the below code snippet:userStatus
is a MultiSelect widget. There are two scenarios for the in clause
queries; You don't know how many options the user will select, so you will supply a dynamic length of an array, or you know the data bindings and so supply a static length of the array to the in clause.in clause
with indefinite bindings determined at runtime. The problem with using an array for generating a dynamic in clause
is that no definite values are available as selected options are not fixed and may vary. Because of this, the binding to the number of parameters with the query will fail.= ANY

. The prepared statement can work for such bindings, and you can write a query as follows:userActiveStatus
and userInActiveStatus
are two different text widgets that are added as data binding for in clause.{{Query_to_Execute.text}}
where the Text Widget (Query_to_Execute) has the query that will be executed, which could be generated on the fly based on some logic in the code. As the static query that will be executed is not available for pre-compilation, the prepared statements fail to execute. For such scenarios, you can disable the prepared statements and continue to use the query to generate responses.where
