If you are using JDBC the threshold can be changed: https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/94/server-prepare.html https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/publicapi/org/postgresql/PGStatement.html#setPrepareThreshold%28int%29 As I don't think JDBC is using anything "exotic" I would be surprised if this can't be changed with other programming environments also.
