Combining prepare() with execute()

x::sql::statement stmt=
    conn->execute("INSERT INTO books(name, price) VALUES(?, ?)",
        "Around the world in 80 days", 9.99);

A connection handle's execute() method combines prepare() with an execute() on the resulting statement handle. If desired, the connection handle's execute() also returns the resulting statement handle, already execute()d.

The first parameter to a connection handle's execute() method is an SQL statement that gets forwarded to prepare(), the remaining parameters, if any are forwarded to the statement handle's execute(), as is.

This also applies when the SQL statement is a SELECT.

try {
    auto stmt=conn->execute_vector("insert into videos(titles, prices) values(?, ?)",
                        status, titles, prices);
} catch (...) {
    // ...
}

if (!(status[0] & 1) ||
     !(status[1] & 1))

Calling a connection handle's execute_vector() is equivalent to calling prepare(), then passing the remaining argument to the new statement handle's execute_vector().
