+==== Forcing emulated prepared statements ====
+ADOdb 5.22 introduced support for "true" bound variables in prepared statements((using
+[[https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.execute.php|mysqli_stmt_execute()]],
+see [[https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/pull/655|issue #655]])).
+Before that, parameterized queries were emulated, which was a potential security risk.
+When using database engines pretending to be MySQL but not implementing prepared statements such as
+[[https://clickhouse.com/|ClickHouse]] and
+[[https://manticoresearch.com/|Manticore Search]],
+it is possible((starting with ADOdb 5.22.8)) to force usage of emulated queries (i.e. reverting to behavior of ADOdb 5.21 and older) by setting the ''doNotUseBoundVariables'' property.
+<code php>
+$db = newAdoConnection('mysqli');
+$db->doNotUseBoundVariables = true;
+$db->connect($host, $user, $password, $database);
+$db->execute($sql, $param);
