Meskes-san Thank you for your comment.

The following can be accepted by preproc, ecpglib, libpq, and backend in previous versions. exec sql prepare "st x" from "select 1"; exec sql execute "st x"; The above was preprocessed to the following. PQprepare(conn, "\"st x\"", "select 1"); PQexec(conn, "\"st x\""); By the way, the following also can be accepted. PQexecParams(conn, "prepare \"st x\" ( int ) as select $1", 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0); PQexecParams(conn, "execute \"st x\"( 1 )", 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0); Therefore, I think that the quoting statement name is needed in PREPARE/EXECUTE case, too. > I would prefer to merge as much as possible, as I am afraid that if we > do not merge the approaches, we will run into issues later.
