Re: Reduce large amount of logicals in SUBFL pgm, take in another direction

IMHO, yes. You are always better off with prepared statements.

OWASP agrees. If you look at the recommendation, it says "use
prepared statements" no ifs and/or exceptions.

Honestly, I simply stick with static statements unless there's a real
need for dynamic. The only real need is when you don't know till run
time what file you'll be reading.

"dynamic" WHEREs and ORDER BY can be handled in a static statement.

I ask, because even though the programmer carefully created the SQL
via concatenation to protect against injection, the next maintenance
programmer may not.
