title: Are there any disadvantages using Preparedstatement compared to Statement
body: <p>I was going through differences between Statement and PreparedStatement in JDBC and saw so many advantages <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3271249/difference-between-statement-and-preparedstatement">here</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1363039/are-there-downsides-to-using-prepared-statements">here</a> with PreparedStatement in comparison with Statement.</p>
  
  <p>Some of my colleague was asking why we still need Statement and why it is not deprecated looking at the advantages of PreparedStatement.</p>
  
  <p>So is there any reason why we still have the Statement in JDBC API?</p>
