You can prepare thoseu Ok, and if each client just connect to the database, execute each kind of query just *once* and then disconnect?.. - cost of prepare will kill performance here if it's not reused at least 10 times within the same session.

Ok. If I remember well, Oracle have it and it helps a lot, but for sure it's not easy to implement..
