  Creates a <code>Statement</code> object for sending
  SQL statements to the database.
  SQL statements without parameters are normally
  executed using <code>Statement</code> objects. If the same SQL statement
  is executed many times, it may be more efficient to use a
  <code>PreparedStatement</code> object.
  <P>
  Result sets created using the returned <code>Statement</code>
  object will by default be type <code>TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY</code>
  and have a concurrency level of <code>CONCUR_READ_ONLY</code>.
  The holdability of the created result sets can be determined by
  calling {@link #getHoldability}.

  <h3>HSQLDB-Specific Information:</h3> <p>
  
  Starting with HSQLDB 1.7.2, support for precompilation at the engine level
  has been implemented, so it is now much more efficient and performant
  to use a <code>PreparedStatement</code> object if the same short-running
  SQL statement is to be executed many times. <p>
  
  HSQLDB supports <code>TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY</code>,
  <code>TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE</code> and <code>CONCUR_READ_ONLY</code>
  results. <p>
