+<ol class="arabic">

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The question marks in the query are automatically replaced with the

+<p>The resulting query will be:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">SELECT</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="nx">FROM</span> <span class="nx">some_table</span> <span class="nx">WHERE</span> <span class="nx">id</span> <span class="nx">IN</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="mi">6</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">AND</span> <span class="nx">status</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;live&#39;</span> <span class="k">AND</span> <span class="nx">author</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Rick&#39;</span>
+</pre></div>

+<p>The secondary benefit of using binds is that the values are
+automatically escaped, producing safer queries. You don’t have to
+remember to manually escape data; the engine does it automatically for
+you.</p>
