How to use Prepared Statements in SQL and Avoid SQL Injection!

It is not enough to connect to your database and query with generic SQL statements. It is imperative to use prepared statements to query in order to avoid being vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks.

These placeholders can only store a value of the given type and not an arbitrary SQL fragment. In this video we will discuss exactly what SQL Injection is so you can better understand why you need to use prepared statements and how they protect your data from one of the most common forms of security vulnerabilities.
