Do not forget to close prepared statements - Many memory leaks
reported in MySQL Server turned out to be prepare statements or
cursors which were forgotten to be closed. Watch Com_stmt_prepare and
Com_stmt_close to see if you're closing all prepared statements. In
newer versions you can also use prepared_stmt_count variable to track
number of open statements diretly. You can also adjust
max_prepared_stmt_count variable which limits how many statements can
be open at the same time to avoid overload.

there is some complications with portability - shared memory is slow
on windows :( but probably there isn't problem save plan into shared
memory. Main difficulties is memory maintaining.

PostgreSQL is solo C code
