 # Preparing queries
 
+If you're using `pgx/v5` you get its
+[implicit support](https://github.com/jackc/pgx/wiki/Automatic-Prepared-Statement-Caching)
+for prepared statements. No additional `sqlc` configuration is required.
+
+For other drivers, `sqlc` can give you the option to explicitly use prepared
+queries. These prepared queries also work with transactions.
+
+You'll need to set `emit_prepared_queries` to `true` in your `sqlc` configuration
+to generate code similar to the example below.
