Ah, sorry, what I should have said is that the SQL PREPARE command works with the same namespace as PQprepare (which is a thin wrapper over the wire-protocol Parse command). There is a different namespace for cursors. Cursors do share that namespace with the wire-protocol "portal" concept, but libpq doesn't directly expose portals. regards, tom lane
