<p>It is up to dbd user modules to use the prepared statements
and document what statements can be specified in httpd.conf,
or to provide their own directives and use <code>ap_dbd_prepare</code>.</p>
+
+ <div class="warning"><h3>Caveat</h3>
+ When using prepared statements with a MySQL database, it is preferred to set
+ <code>reconnect</code> to 0 in the connection string as to avoid errors that
+ arise from the MySQL client reconnecting without properly resetting the
+ prepared statements. If set to 1, any broken connections will be attempted
+ fixed, but as mod_dbd is not informed, the prepared statements will be invalidated.
