ToDo: support for parameters in EXECUTE statement

Hello

The EXECUTE statement doesn't support a parametrization via
SPI_execute_with_args call and PQexecParams too. It can be a security
issue. If somebody use a prepared statement as protection to sql
injection, then all security goes out, because he has to call EXECUTE
without parametrization.

Why don't you use SPI_prepare and SPI_open_query ?

I have to execute a session's prepared statement - created with
PREPARE statement.
