Unless I misunderstand the remark, \bindx will call PQsendQueryPrepared which will bind then execute the query, similar to what \bind is doing (except \bind also parses the query). > I'm not sure \bindx is such a great name. The "x" stands for "I ran out of > ideas". ;-) That's definitely what happened :). \bind would have been a better fit but it was already used.

Fine by me to be outvoted, of course. +1 keeping this as a separate command and using \bind_named. \bind has a different behaviour as it also parses the query so keeping them as separate commands would probably avoid some confusion.
