Hi,
Parameterized queries (PREPARE/EXECUTE), is a great thing, but it would even be better if the DECLARE CURSOR could use a PREPAREd statement, to declare a "server-side" cursor with a parameterized query, to use the benefits of DECLAREd cursors (no fetching of all the result set on the client, use the binary mode, use the scrollable option or the FOR UPDATE option).
For now we cannot use DECLARE CURSOR in our PostgreSQL driver because
of this limitation.... I could build the SQL statement with literal values, but since you have now parametrized queries I would prefer to use that...
You can define a function that returns a cursor, if that is of any use to you.
