I believe that's logging execution of an unnamed portal, not an unnamed
statement. I'm not sure whether the current server logging actually lets
you tell whether a named statement was used/reused or not (at least that
was one of my complaints about early versions of it -- haven't checked
what current versions do).

If the statement name is logged, it'd be something like "S_12345".

C_.... are portals ("cursors")

If you're using setFetchSize() to avoid pulling in the whole resultset
at once, the driver has to use a named statement and named portal
regardless of the prepare-threshold setting (because portals are closed
when their creating statement is closed, and the unnamed statement gets
closed when reused)
