The BDE automatically prepares and unprepares statements (before and
after execution)only if you don't explicitly call Prepare.
If you call Prepare before executing a statement, the statement stays
prepared after execution, so the bug can surface with the BDE too (maybe
most developers don't prepare their statements?).
BTW, where can I find a detailed description of the bug and how to
avoind it?
Thanks
