My point is that it *is* using the unnamed portal, AFAICS --- the ""s in the Bind and Execute commands appear to correspond to the empty strings that would select that portal. The Close on the other hand is specifying closing a prepared statement, not a portal. If you're right about the control flow around this function, then the code is generating a prepared statement, using it once, and destroying it. Which is dumb; you should instead use the unnamed-statement protocol flow, which is better optimized for that usage pattern. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
