Most database engines allow sql statements to be "prepared", ie. parsed,  
and the parameters passed in separately and handled by the database ODBC  
driver and not Python. For repetitive queries with different parameters  
this can mean a significant difference in performance. As the  
documentation says there may be cases where the database ODBC driver  
doesn't support this or isn't very efficient and executedirect() may,  
therefore, be preferable. I don't think you should need to use  
executedirect() with MS SQL.
