Prepare (SQL)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG. I'm probably going to be criticized for taking this to AfD, but why would we want separate articles on computer instructions? Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Bbb23 (talk) 00:35, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No criticism from me - this is an unnotable software command. If there's a list of SQL commands it could redirect there, but otherwise delete for failing the general notability guideline. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 10:29, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Cursor (databases) or Query optimization depending on WP:EXPERT. --Northernhenge (talk) 22:24, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It could probably become a small section within query optimisation, but it has little to do with cursors. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:01, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The current one sentence article is pretty useless, but I have little doubt one could write an encyclopedic article on prepared SQL queries. I don't think the suggested redirect targets above are very sensical. Merging this into as a new section of the SQL article would be a better option. —Ruud 14:49, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy redirect to Prepared statement. Obviously... —Ruud 17:39, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's potential scope here for something, but this isn't even a stub. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:57, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Ruud --Northernhenge (talk) 21:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I support Ruud's redirect.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:49, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
