+### Query - Better reuse of queries with adhoc(false) and Prepared Statements
+This example should demonstrate best practice when a statement is to be reused heavily. Setting the `adhoc` N1QL query tuning to `false` will use Prepared Statements in the background, which is useful in such a case. Note how this works with placeholders (but of course simple statements work too).

 ### CAS Handling - Using CAS for concurrent mutations
 This example will demonstrate concurrent mutations with and without using the
 CAS value. Without using the CAS value, some modifications may end up getting
