Description:
Prepared statements only work with certain SQL statements in MySQL 4.1 (DML (INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE, and DELETE), CREATE TABLE, and SELECT)  However the documentation for prepared statements, both at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/SQLPS.html and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/C_API_Prepared_statements.html , doesn't seem to list the restrictions.

How to repeat:
Look in the manual for a list of queries that do or don't work.

Suggested fix:
Add the list of queries that work to the documentation.
