good point. I just went through this. The JDBC driver has a
'prepareThreshold' directive that *mostly* disables server side
prepared statements so you can work with tools like pgbouncer.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for explicit transaction control
statements so that you have to downgrade jdbc protocol or patch the
driver (which is really the better way to go, but I can understand why
that won't fly for a lot of people).
