Answer
Forgetting to bind all placeholders. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
A frequent mistake with PreparedStatements is failing to bind a value for each placeholder (`?`). This results in errors or unexpected behavior. Always ensure each `?` in your SQL has a corresponding `setX` method call. For example, `pstmt.setInt(1, productId);` for `SELECT * FROM products WHERE id =?`.
