MySql: Will using Prepared statements to call a stored procedure be any faster with .NET/Connector?
I've been reading a bit about Prepared statements with MySql, and the .NET/Connector does support them. What I'm wondering, is if I use a prepared statement to call the same stored procedure thousands of times, is that any faster or better performance than not using prepared statements to do so (since the stored procedure should really be compiled already)? Eg: var mySqlCmd = new MySqlCommand(con, "call sp_someProcedure(@param1, @param2);"); mySqlCmd.Prepare(); mySqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param1", ""); mySqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param2", ""); for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
