execute('prepared statement') liefert als rv die Anzahl der betroffenen Zeilen.

For "SELECT" statements, execute simply "starts" the query within the database engine. Use one
of the fetch methods to retrieve the data after calling "execute". The "execute" method does
not return the number of rows that will be returned by the query (because most databases can’t
tell in advance), it simply returns a true value.
