Preparing Statements When Parameters Are Known

In some prepared statements, all necessary information is known at the time the statement is prepared. The following example in Informix® ESQL/C shows two statements that were prepared from constant data:
sprintf(redo_st, "%s %s",
   "drop table workt1; ",
   "create table workt1 (wtk serial, wtv float)" );
EXEC SQL prepare redotab from :redo_st;
