In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; from Tom
How can I use a prepared select statement as mentioned in the documentation=
on SQL PREPARE. Preparing the statement is easy, the problem is using the =
plan to get a cursor. My assumption is the SQL OPEN command is not document=
ed or there is some other libpq API to make this happen.

It might be interesting to track Oracle's version number viz. its

I am wondering if there is any difference in performance between
