I come from an Oracle background and am used to being able to parse a query once and then rebind and reexecute that same query multiple times. This can have huge performance benefits for frequently used queries within an application. I am new to PostgreSQL, and am trying to figure out how to do the same here. Specifically from the JDBC client interface. The JDBC interface allows for rebinding and reexecuting, but the implementation seems to rebuild the query every time and sends the new query string to the server to have it reparse. In digging a little deeper, I don't think that the Front End/Back End protocol can support this type of functionality. Is there anyway I can avoid the overhead of reparsing the statements when all I want to do is rebind/reexecute the same statements over and over again? (Again I need this from the JDBC interface) thanks, --Barry
