Hi, i am trying to understand "Prepared Statements". I am asking because i want to understand the impact of "Prepared statements" to my application. Actually i use Hibernate, DBCP Connection Pool with Postgresql-JDBC Driver and Postgresql 8.1. - I know there is a PREPARE Statement in Postgresql and read the docs. - in PostgresqlJDBC i have a prepareThreshold parameter which i left to default of 5. - in DBCP i have a property "poolPreparedStatements", set to true. Does ist just configure prepareThreshold of JDBC or does it maintain a statementPool of it's own? In my Log files of postgresql each query is called like this: EXECUTE <unnamed> [PREPARE: select ...] I have not found anything about preparing "unnamed" statements. What does it mean? many questions, but i was googling a lot and "Prepared Statement" is a somewhat ambiguous expression, isn't it? Can someone clarify this to me, please? kind regards, Janning ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
