Re: NOT EXIST for PREPARE

Well, what is your suggestion exactly?

pgjdbc is NOT using "prepare ..." sql command.
I'm inclined to suppose, it will not use "prepare..." even after your fix.

I'm afraid, they are not.

Your words are "This feature should be immediately be incorporated
by the JDBC driver" yet you have not raised that subject on pgsql-jdbc
mailing list/github issue. That is not very fair.

Let me just name an alternative, so you can see what "a step back" could be:
What if pg-bouncer generated _fake_ ParameterStatus(backend_id=...)
messages to pgjdbc?
Then pgjdbc can learn true backend session id and it can use proper
set of prepared statements. Basically, pgjdbc could have prepared statement
cache per backend_id.
Well, it is not a 100% solution, however it is yet another approach to
"pgbouncer" problem, and it will support all the PostgreSQL versions.

It fits into current frontend-backend protocol as all clients are supposed
to handle ParameterStatus messages, etc.
