I would suggest using setting "prepareThreshold=0" in the JDBC driver connection URL, or calling pstmt.setPrepareThreshold(0) in the application. That tells the driver not to use server-side prepare, and the query will be re-planned every time you execute it with the real values of the parameters.
that works. I think another alternative is to just turn off seqscan temporarily for the session: set enable_seqscan=false; and re-enable it after prepareing the statement. however I agree that seqscan should be enabled for normal operation. in fact, this becomes more and more important as your database becomes really big due to poor random i/o of hard drives. merlin
