   * An enum for the degree of probability to which a prepared statement is reused later on. This is used for managing
   * the cache of prepared statements so that statements which are more likely reused are kept in the cache longer. Rule
   * of thumb:
   * <ul>
   * <li>For global statements which are used regularly (such as lookup object in cdo_objects) use
   * {@link ReuseProbability#MAX MAX}.
   * <li>For constant object-specific statements which are used regularly use {@link ReuseProbability#HIGH HIGH}.
   * <li>For object-specific statements which are assembled from constants which are used regularly use
   * {@link ReuseProbability#MEDIUM MEDIUM}.
   * <li>For all other dynamic statements, like queries, use {@link ReuseProbability#LOW LOW}
