I am very interested in such a patch, because currently I use the same
functionality within my JDBC driver and having this directly in
PostgreSQL would surely speed things up.
I have two suggestions however:
1. Please allow to gather information about the autoprepared statements
by returning them in pg_prepared_statements view. I would love to
monitor usage of them as well as the memory consumption that occurs. I
suggested a patch to display that in
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/41ED3F5450C90F4D8381BC4D8DF6BBDCF02E10B4@EXCHANGESERVER.ikoffice.de
2. Please not only use a LRU list, but maybe something which would
prefer statements that get reused at all. We often create ad hoc
statements with parameters which don't really need to be kept. Maybe I
can suggest an implementation of an LRU list where a reusal of a
statement not only pulls it to the top of the list but also increases a
reuse counter. When then a statement would drop off the end of the list
one checks if the reusal count is non-zero, and only really drops it if
the resual count is zero. Else the reusal count is decremented (or
halved) and the element is also placed at the start of the LRU list, so
it is kept a bit longer.
