Re: Prepared statement not using index

The difference between the 7.4 driver and the 8.0.3 driver is the
8.0.3 driver is using server side prepared statements and binding the
parameter to the type in setXXX(n,val).

The 7.4 driver just replaces the ? with the value and doesn't use
server side prepared statements.
