Yes, my last message did not make it to the list yesterday (you obviously received it). I double checked and it was cc to the list.

I have two routines, prepare and exec_prepare.

To prepare a named statement for multiple uses, I use prepare (parse, describe, sync).

exec_prepare can take a statement from prepare OR you can pass it the unparsed SQL instead (along with the parameters). In the second case it performs the parse first with the unnamed prepared statement (empty string) and then executes it. This is nice because if you don't need multiple executions, you can build and execute with a single network write and read. You get the safety of parameterized execution and you don't have a prepared statement to dispose of in another operation.
