+ * Binds integer parameters as strings.
+ *
+ * MySQL 9.0.1 re-prepares a statement server-side on EVERY execute that
+ * carries an integer-typed binary-protocol parameter (measured:
+ * PDO::PARAM_INT -> Com_stmt_reprepare +1 per execute, PDO::PARAM_STR with
+ * the same value -> 0, identical results). No extra round trips - the server
+ * transparently parses and plans the whole statement again, costing ~15-50us
+ * of server CPU per execute. Production measured 226 reprepares/second, 54%
+ * of all statement executes.
+ *
+ * A string PARAMETER stays exact: the server converts it to the column's
+ * type with full precision at execute time, so plans, index use, and results
+ * are unchanged - verified for adjacent bigints beyond 2^53, where a quoted
+ * LITERAL would compare as DOUBLE and merge distinct values. Do not extend
+ * this reasoning to literals interpolated into SQL text.
+ *
+ * Two semantic footnotes. An int bound against a VARCHAR column previously
+ * compared numerically ('05' matched 5) and defeated the index; it now
+ * compares as a string - every id-like varchar column in production was
+ * scanned for non-canonical numeric values before shipping (zero found).
+ * And the dangerous direction remains the old one: an int parameter against
+ * a varchar column disables index use - see dreambooth_models.user_id.
