```c
duckdb_prepared_statement stmt;
duckdb_result result;
if (duckdb_prepare(con, "INSERT INTO integers VALUES ($1, $2)", &stmt) == DuckDBError) {
// handle error
}

duckdb_bind_int32(stmt, 1, 42); // the parameter index starts counting at 1!
duckdb_bind_int32(stmt, 2, 43);
// NULL as second parameter means no result set is requested
duckdb_execute_prepared(stmt, NULL);
duckdb_destroy_prepare(&stmt);

// we can also query result sets using prepared statements
if (duckdb_prepare(con, "SELECT * FROM integers WHERE i = ?", &stmt) == DuckDBError) {
// handle error
}
duckdb_bind_int32(stmt, 1, 42);
duckdb_execute_prepared(stmt, &result);

// do something with result

// clean up
duckdb_destroy_result(&result);
duckdb_destroy_prepare(&stmt);
```  
After calling `duckdb_prepare`, the prepared statement parameters can be inspected using `duckdb_nparams` and `duckdb_param_type`. In case the prepare fails, the error can be obtained through `duckdb_prepare_error`.  
It is not required that the `duckdb_bind` family of functions matches the prepared statement parameter type exactly. The values will be auto-cast to the required value as required. For example, calling `duckdb_bind_int8` on a parameter type of `DUCKDB_TYPE_INTEGER` will work as expected.  
> **Warning.  ** Do **not** use prepared statements to insert large amounts of data into DuckDB. Instead it is recommended to use the [Appender](#docs:api:c:appender).
