Hello!
Please, could somebody explain what the "compound" queries were created for?
Maybe i'm calling them wrong. It's about queries like:
SELECT 1 + 2 \; SELECT 2.0 AS "float" \; SELECT 1;
Such queries can neither be prepared nor used in the extended protocol with
ERROR: cannot insert multiple commands into a prepared statement.
What are their advantages?
And what is the proper name for such queries? "Compound" or something else?
Would be very grateful for clarification.
Best wishes,
