Hi,

I've got several questions regarding the behaviors of prepared statement in PostgreSQL.

Environment:
JDK version: 6
JDBC driver: 8.4-701.jdbc3
No connection pool is used
prepareThreshold is set to 1

Code:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {PreparedStatement statement = 	conn.prepareStatement("select * from foo where value = ?");statement.setInt(1, 20);statement.executeQuery();// statement is left un-closed on purpose;// check the contents of pg_prepared_statement;
}


Obvervation:

The pg_prepared_statements contents of the 4th iteration is as follows:
S_2	select * from gsd_36c_unique where tag_length = $1	2010-10-06 19:01:06.052824+08	{integer}	f
S_4	select * from gsd_36c_unique where tag_length = $1	2010-10-06 19:01:06.63442+08	{integer}	f
S_3	select * from gsd_36c_unique where tag_length = $1	2010-10-06 19:01:06.317623+08	{integer}	f
S_1	BEGIN	2010-10-06 19:01:06.052524+08	{}	f
S_5	select * from gsd_36c_unique where tag_length = $1	2010-10-06 19:01:06.811521+08	{integer}	f

Discussion:

1. Even though all the prepare statements have the identical SQL string, the postgresql server creates one execution plan for each statement.
So I think the execution plan is fetched by name (S_1, S_2, etc.) instead of SQL query string from the server-side. On the other hand, 
a JDBC code tracing shows that the execution plan is fetched by SQL query String.  Is the above assertion correct? 

3. In the 5th iteration all the previously-prepared statements are dropped from the postgresql server, the pg_prepared_statements shows the following:
pg_prepared_statemnt S_6	select * from gsd_36c_unique where tag_length = $1	2010-10-06 19:01:06.99907+08	{integer}	f
pg_prepared_statemnt S_1	BEGIN	2010-10-06 19:01:06.052524+08	{}	f  
I think it's because postgresql JDBC Driver has a default limit for the max number of preparedStatement, which is 4. 
Can anyone tell me where to adjuest this parameter?

Cheers,

Louis
