I agree that it defeats PREPARE as it is currently implemented with PQprepare(), and it would never be meaningful to have a query plan that hasn't finalized which objects are involved. But could it be made to work with PQexecParams(), where the parameter values are already provided? Could we make a version of PQprepare() that takes an extra array of paramValues for object names that must be supplied at prepare-time?
