== Why is this an issue?

``++PreparedStatement++``s and ``++CallableStatement++``s (for stored procedures) are safer and more efficient than ``++Statement++``s and should always be preferred.


This rule raises an issue each time a ``++Statement++`` is declared.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java]
----
Statement stmt = null;  // Noncompliant
// ...
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,java]
----
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
// ...
----
