title: Prepared statement for select query
body: <p>I was wondering if I should be using prepared statements for simple select queries?</p>
  
  <p>Such as: </p>
  
  <pre><code>`SELECT * FROM `table_name`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With this, wouldn't it be better to just do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$db-&gt;query('SELECT * FROM `table_name`');
  </code></pre>
