OK, thats what I hoped you'd say. With a prepared query all of the
statements execute the same plan, so you don't need to know the exact
parameters. Before v3 the whole query was logged because the statements
were not prepared and each query might have been different. That is no
longer the case.

ISTM that for analysis purposes it is helpful to know that a particular
query is being repeated. Also, if you log the actual parameters, the log
gets unusefully large very quickly.

Anyway, I have a patch that I will be able to submit shortly in this
area. No doubt it will require further discussion.

Best Regards, Simon Riggs
