IMNSHO it's an oversight in the core JDBC design dating back to the beginning: you have two basic choices for executing SQL. The unparameterized Statement or the parameterized PreparedStatement. There should have been a 'ParamaterizedStatement' that gave the expectation of paramaterization without setting up and permanent server side structures to handle the query; libpq makes this distinction and it works very well. Of course, there are various ways to work around this but the point stands. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
