RE: SQL statement PREPARE does not work in ECPG

It works well for my statement
"EXEC SQL PREPARE test_prep (int) AS SELECT id from test_table where id = $1;".

However, since data type information is not used, it does not works well
for prepare statements which need data type information such as
"EXEC SQL PREPARE test_prep (int, int) AS SELECT $1 + $2;".

It fails with "PostgreSQL error : -400[operator is not unique: unknown + unknown on line 20]".

(Of course, "EXEC SQL PREPARE test_prep AS SELECT $1::int + $2::int;" works well.)

It also works.
(Actually, I wrote "EXEC SQL EXECUTE test_prep (:i) INTO :ID;".)

ECPG produced as follows.

============================
ECPGdo(__LINE__, 0, 1, NULL, 0, ECPGst_execute, "test_prep",
ECPGt_int,&(i),(long)1,(long)1,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L, ECPGt_EOIT,
ECPGt_int,&(ID),(long)1,(long)1,sizeof(int),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L, ECPGt_EORT);
