So if I have a loop that finds a row with some data (statement1) then based on values from that row sets fields in other rows statement2 find a row to set new data statement3 set column to something, repeat n times. then go back and do it all again x times. I can prepare the 3 statements first then loop until I am done then finalize the 3 statements. That sure saves much overhead from preparing and finalizing 3*n*x times.

That is the usual case, actually.
