Yeah, but it also contains this:
Using prepared statements is in theory quite a bit faster: not only
does the PostgreSQL backend only have to prepare the query only
once, but DBD::Pg no longer has to worry about quoting each value
before sending it to the server.
Which just continues the misconception: you can not worry about quoting
each value and still not use server-side prepares. There's a third
option which is not made clear (and it's not clear if it's available
via DBI).
Basically, unnamed "prepares" are not planned until bind time, named
statements are planned at prepare time. The question is, do you want to
be able to defer planning for named statements also?
Have a nice day,
