I oversimplified the description of the current patch I'm working on,
server side prepared statement support has been in the driver since the
7.3 days. So this problem already exists and has simply been unnoticed.
With the current code it is difficult to enable server prepared statements
and requires writing pg specific code outside of the standard JDBC API.
The patch I'm reviewing makes it simple to turn on server prepared
statements globally and brought this bug to my attention. I would say
"better late than never."
