I don't see the problem. Defining the view field as "the string sent to
the server to create the prepared statement" seems perfectly consistent
to me.
In practice, any given application will probably use one method to the
exclusion of the other, and wouldn't notice the "inconsistency" anyway.
If you are using both methods of preparing statements for some reason,
it's not improbable that you would want to know which way a given
statement was created, and seeing the PREPARE in there would be a useful
cue.
