		Represents a prepared statement for use with a [Database].
		Prepared statements are compiled and parametrized sql statements which can be used repeatedly.
		[PreparedStatement]s are an alternative to [QueryBuilder].
		Prepared statements comes with a lot of added security, as SQL injection attacks doesn't work with them (as long as you use their parameters). However note that [QueryBuilder] will escape string parameters which expect to have user input in the for you too, so if you use [QueryBuilder] yuo should also be safe.
		Performance can differ compared to normal queries, but it seems like it depends on a lot of factors, so you will have to banchmark it yourself for heavy queries. It can be faster or slower.
		A prepared statement looks similar:
		[code]INSERT INTO table VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?);[/code]
		And then you can substitute values into the [code]?[/code]-s.
		Usge example:
		[code]
			var qb : QueryBuilder = DatabaseManager.ddb.get_connection().get_query_builder()
			var ps : PreparedStatement = qb.create_prepared_statement()

			ps.sql = "INSERT INTO 'data_table' VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?);"
			ps.prepare()
			
			print("Inserting 10 values!")
			
			for i in range(10):
				ps.reset()
				
				ps.bind_text(1, "vc" + str(randi()))
				ps.bind_text(2, "text" + str(randi()))
				ps.bind_int(3, randi())
				ps.bind_double(4, randf() * 100000)
				ps.step()
		[/code]
		Usge example using [QueryBuilder]:
		[code]
			var qb : QueryBuilder = DatabaseManager.ddb.get_connection().get_query_builder()
			qb.insert("data_table", "data_varchar,data_text,data_int,data_double").values()
			qb.valph().valph().valph().valph().cvalues()
			qb.end_command()
			
			var ps : PreparedStatement = qb.create_prepared_statement()
			ps.prepare()
			
			print("Inserting 10 values!")
			
			for i in range(10):
				ps.reset()
				
				ps.bind_text(1, "vc" + str(randi()))
				ps.bind_text(2, "text" + str(randi()))
				ps.bind_int(3, randi())
				ps.bind_double(4, randf() * 100000)
				ps.step()
		[/code]
