These won't necessarily get the same plan. If you want to see what plan the
prepared query is getting, you'll need to prepare it ("prepare foo as
<query>") and then explain *that* via "explain execute foo".
The prepared version likely has a much more generic plan, whereas the
regular query gets optimized for the actual values provided.
