As a note for non-JDBC users, the JDBC driver's batch interface allows

Really? I thought that executing statements like so:
select * from a;insert ...;delete;
in psql / libpq would execute them all in one trip.
Right, but those aren't prepared. I suppose it's possible to issue a prepare
and then issue a batch of comma separated "execute" statements, but that's
not exactly a natural interface.
for the task we are discussing here (log inserting) why wouldn't it be
reasonable to have a prepared insert and then do begin;execute...;end to
do a batch of them at once.
