As soon as we find a way to do it. I do not see a good way to pass
variables to the backend's prepare statement. We had a longer discussion
on this starting with the different syntax until I understood that you
cannot prepare a statement like:

select * from table where id=:id;

until you already know the value of the variable id, i.e. the backend
does not know a USING clause to specify the variables when executing the
command.

But then I may have missed something. It happened before. :-)
