is it only the BEGIN, ROLLBACK and COMMIT that are only shown when being
prepared? I ask because all the statement are PreparedStatements and they
get prepared each time we get a new connection, which I understand means
that they prepared for real first time they are used, but are then cached
and therefore that one should always use substitutable ? paramaters so that
the statement is always the same. If only the prepares are being logged
then the pool is obviously not working as the insert into the logs table
get logged each time through.

I am now more confused.
