Thread: Postgres prepare statement caching issue in postgres command line

Postgres prepare statement caching issue in postgres command line

From
Soumya Prasad Ukil
Date:
I have been using postgres prepare statement feature through JDBC. I could see the same prepare statement multiple times, parsing is not happening in postgres backend, which is expected. However I do the same in psql command line, that does not happen. It goes to parsing every time I execute

Using the following query:

postgres=> PREPARE parallel_execute1(text, text) AS insert into actor (first_name, last_name) values ($1, $2);
postgres=> PREPARE parallel_execute2(int, int) AS insert into film_actor (actor_id, film_id) values($1, $2);
postgres=> execute parallel_execute1;
postgres=> execute parallel_execute2;


I have executed both prepared statements 10 times. I could see every time both queries went through parsing. How do I make sure that they do not need parsing in command line? JDBC it works in expected manner. Same code does not go for parsing each time. How can I have same behaviour in pgsql command line?

Perhaps "set plan_cache_mode = force_generic_plan" would help you.

Bear in mind that this is likely to be a net loss overall.

This (poorly) works around the problem, but does not answer the question.

Where are the arguments for the parameters?

How are you determining the above?

postgres=> execute parallel_execute1('a', 'b');
postgres=> execute parallel_execute2(1, 2);

I have enabled pg_stats_statement chrome extension. I have enabled postgres log inside post_parse_analyze_hook  and also debugging through gdb using break point. I see it is always going through parse callback. But when I use the same sql statement using Java program through JDBC prepare statement, it does not go to parse callback all the time. It stops after 6th iteration onwards. What I have read in JDBC is that, postgres has a default threshold for prepare statement to 5 https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/server-prepare.html. But after 6th statement onwards, what I see parse callback is not triggered. However the same does not happen in psql command line. If I execute the same statement 10 times, all the times it goes through parsing. Not sure what JDBC does extra.

Take a look at the Notes section here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-prepare.html

It goes into detail on how a PREPARE statement is handled as regards 
parsing. See if the conditions mentioned there cover your psql case or not.
