Not exactly --- the way you've got this set up, a failed PQprepare will
leave a booby trap for the next operation.  The flag has got to be reset
on command send, not on receipt of a success response.  I'll find a
better place to do it.

Like the appended (incremental) patch?

(I didn't think this would work, because I thought libpq would allow you
to send multiple queries before trying to read results. But you said it
didn't support that, so...)

Say what?  Neither libpq nor the backend support multiple queries
in-flight at the same time.

[That sounds exactly like what my concerns were.]

Adding a flag is going to be enough for synchronous queries. But it seems like
it has no chance of working for asynchronous queries. It would have to keep
track of what all the pending requests are and the expected results.

I think DBD::Pg would be pretty happy to have even synchronous queries
working. Afaik that's all it uses currently.

[ looks... ] The patch is definitely broken as-is, because it changes
the application-visible behavior of existing functions --- in particular
PQsendQueryParams() followed by PQgetResult() will now return a bogus
additional PGresult.  I think the cleanest solution is probably to add a
state flag indicating whether ParseComplete should generate a PGresult
or not.

Is this Abhijit's patch to add PQprepare() and PQsendPrepare()? 

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-10/msg00142.php

I'm anxious to see this get in 8.0 so that the prepared query support can be
used by DBD::pg and other libpq-based applications and drivers.

I'm not sure whether the patch he sent is adequate, I looked at it myself and
was a bit skeptical. But he said my concerns were misplaced. If somebody more
authoritative could look at it I expect he would be happy to take any feedback
into account and keep working on it. But if nobody says anything then I'm sure
nothing's going to happen and the binary prepared queries will be useless for
DBD::Pg and other libpq-based drivers.

We see that the win32 version of PostgreSQL sometime does not respond

pgbench -h windows_host -S -c 128 -t 1000 your_database
