Is C++ OTL SQL database library using parameterized queries under the hood, or string concat?

Question

I\'ve been looking at the OTL (Oracle, Odbc and DB2-CLI Template Library) for C++ database access. I\'m unsure of whether the query I pass in is converted to a parameterize

Answer 1

The documentation talks all about bind variables. I assume that the library is rewriting your query, but it's probably just changing the format of the bind variables into the format your DBMS expects, and then binding the values to the bind variables.
