Is there a need for this? The current patch I'm working on just
does everything using SQL statements, which I don't think is
too bad (the typical client programmer won't actually need to
see them, their interface should wrap the PREPARE/EXECUTE stuff
for them).
On the other hand, there are already a few reasons to make some
changes to the FE/BE protocol (NOTIFY messages, transaction state,
and now possibly PREPARE/EXECUTE -- anything else?). IMHO, each of
these isn't worth changing the protocol by itself, but perhaps if
we can get all 3 in one swell foop it might be a good idea...
Cheers,
Neil
