        you can use a statement object to gain more options for running

        <title>Creating a Statement</title>

        <para>
            Typically, a statement object is returned by the
            <methodname>query()</methodname> method of the database Adapter class.
            This method is a general way to prepare any <acronym>SQL</acronym> statement.
            The first argument is a string containing an <acronym>SQL</acronym> statement.
            The optional second argument is an array of values to bind
            to parameter placeholders in the <acronym>SQL</acronym> string.
        </para>

        );
]]></programlisting>
        </example>

        <para>
            The statement object corresponds to a <acronym>SQL</acronym> statement that has been
            prepared, and executed once with the bind-values specified.
            If the statement was a SELECT query or other type of statement
            that returns a result set, it is now ready to fetch results.
        </para>

        <para>
            You can create a statement with its constructor, but this is less
            typical usage. There is no factory method to create this object,
            so you need to load the specific statement class and call its
            constructor. Pass the Adapter object as the first argument, and
            a string containing an <acronym>SQL</acronym> statement as the second argument.
            The statement is prepared, but not executed.

            times. Use the <methodname>execute()</methodname> method of the statement
            object. The single argument is an array of value to bind to
            parameter placeholders in the statement.

                By default, the statement object returns rows of the result set

                You can specify a different format for the statement class to

                the <methodname>setFetchMode()</methodname> method of the statement object
                to specify the fetch mode. Specify the fetch mode using
                <classname>Zend_Db</classname> class constants FETCH_ASSOC, FETCH_NUM, FETCH_BOTH,
                FETCH_COLUMN, and FETCH_OBJ.
                See <xref linkend="zend.db.adapter.select.fetch-mode" />
                for more information on these modes.
                Subsequent calls to the statement methods <methodname>fetch()</methodname>
