Does a $sth->finish; close out a $dbh->prepare()?

For example, if I do the following:

$sql = "select sysdate from dual";
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);

while(1) {
        $sth->execute

        (Do some stuff here)

        $sth->finish
}


Does $sth->finish make the query go away?  Do I even wanna put that in
there?  I want the prepared statement to stick around, because I am going
to be running it indefinitely... if I execute it again, does the new
dataset just overrun the old one?
