SQL syntax for prepared statements
You can use the PREPARE
, EXECUTE
and DEALLOCATE
PREPARE
SQL statements to run parameterized queries in the Athena console
query editor.
-
To specify parameters where you would normally use literal values, use question marks in the
PREPARE
statement. -
To replace the parameters with values when you run the query, use the
USING
clause in theEXECUTE
statement. -
To remove a prepared statement from the prepared statements in a workgroup, use the
DEALLOCATE PREPARE
statement.
The following sections provide additional detail about each of these statements.
