PREPARE is not a Core SQL statement, it is only defined for embedded SQL
(like for the C language). The PostgreSQL prepare statement is an
extension as it can be used interactively and has it is own syntax that
is _way_ better than what is used on DB2 for instance (where types have
to be guessed based on a brain damaged long set of rules).
