Logged by:          Yuriy Vostrikoff

PostgreSQL version: 8.1.0
Operating system:   Debian sarge
Description:        strage PREPARE/EXECUTE behavior
Details: 

EXECUTE return wrong result after ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN TYPE. Is this
expected behavior?

mon=> select version();
                                          version

'123450-10-10 15:43:18.790174' is certainly not '2005-11-30
12:27:49.569859'.

Same problem with other datatypes.
And a second question: why  PQprepare() from libpq returns empty PQresult?
It's useful to know field number, field types before PQexecutePrepared.
