What exactly we mean by Precompiled SQL Statement

If a statement is used multiple times in a session, precompiling it provides better performance than sending it to the database and compiling it for each use. The more complex the statement, the greater the performance benefit.
If a statement is likely to be used only a few times, precompiling it may be inefficient because of the overhead involved in precompiling, saving, and later deallocating it in the database.
Precompiling a dynamic SQL statement for execution and saving it in memory uses time and resources. If a statement is not likely to be used multiple times during a session, the costs of doing a database prepare may outweigh its benefits. Another consideration is that once a dynamic SQL statement is prepared in the database, it is very similar to a stored procedure. In some cases, it may be preferable to create stored procedures and have them reside on the server, rather than defining prepared statements in the application.
