Hm. The copying bit bothers me, and I guess after some thought it's
a semantic issue. If you've got
DECLARE c CURSOR FOR SELECT ... WHERE foo = $1;
FETCH 10 FROM c;
it's not very clear when the value of $1 should be supplied. With your
proposal the parameter value would have to be supplied in the Bind
message for the DECLARE CURSOR command. That may be the only way to do
it (certainly I'd not want several successive FETCHes to use different
parameter values), but it still seems a bit weird.
BTW, rather than hacking the parameter list of ProcessUtility,
I'd be inclined to just look at ActivePortal->portalParams in
PerformCursorOpen. (Come to think of it, we could also copy
ActivePortal's sourceText at the PortalDefineQuery step.)
