Re: force re-planning of prepared statements?

Hi,
I do not have an answer for you

but, it is my understanding that
a) PHP drops the DB connection for every HTTP request
and then creates a new one (unless a proxy is used)
That means that prepare statement has a perfromance benefit
if the same SQL is used more than once per session

b) if prepare by itself takes long, than may be analyzing
tables/updating
statistics/vaccuming at least the tables involved in the query might
help

c) if b) does not help -- personally I would think that the problem
is somewhere outside the 'prepare' call (unless there is a PG bug in
that
functionality on that version of the server)
