What is actually fantastically nonsensical about this is that the issues I
outlined about prepared statements would merely become worse if planner hints
were used. Then, you wouldn't only have to worry about plans that were
created earlier during the session, you would be faced with plans that were
created earlier during the application's development. In general, the
solutions to the prepared statement issues need to effect that the plans are
created more often, not less often.
