Frankly, I think you're better off storing them in a table. Shared
memory is a limited resource and you cannot change how much you've
allocated after the server has started. It does mean you'll have to
serialise/deserialise them, but this will be cheaper than replanning,
right?
I liked your global prepared statements idea much better. Named the
statements is no problem: DB frontends do that for you anyway
sometimes.
Have a nice day,
