Yes, as long as there is a libpq call which allow to prepare a statement
without using the SQL PREPARE, which AFAIK does not exist today. something like
PQprepare(conn,name,statement,nParams,paramTypes[]) would do. I just checked my
code and while I use PQexecPrepared, I use the SQL PREPARE to prepare the
statement as there is no other way with libpq.
