Right. A real improvement would only be to have the prepared
execution plan in the backend and just giving the parameter
values.
I can think of the following construct:
PREPARE optimizable-statement;
That one will run parser/rewrite/planner, create a new memory
context with a unique identifier and saves the querytree's
and plan's in it. Parameter values are identified by the
usual $n notation. The command returns the identifier.
EXECUTE QUERY identifier [value [, ...]];
then get's back the prepared plan and querytree by the id,
creates an executor context with the given values in the
parameter array and calls ExecutorRun() for them.
The PREPARE needs to analyze the resulting parsetrees to get
the datatypes (and maybe atttypmod's) of the parameters, so
EXECUTE QUERY can convert the values into Datum's using the
types input functions. And the EXECUTE has to be handled
special in tcop (it's something between a regular query and
an utility statement). But it's not too hard to implement.
Finally a
FORGET QUERY identifier;
(don't remember how the others named it) will remove the
prepared plan etc. simply by destroying the memory context
and dropping the identifier from the id->mcontext+prepareinfo
mapping.
This all restricts the usage of PREPARE to optimizable
statements. Is it required to be able to prepare utility
statements (like CREATE TABLE or so) too?

It's probably a little about me :-) ... well,
My query cache is in usable state and it's efficient for all
things those motivate me to work on this.
some basic features:
- share parsed plans between backends in shared memory
- store plans to private backend hash table
- use parameters for stored queries
- better design for SPI
- memory usage for saved plans
- save plans "by key"
The current query cache code depend on 7.1 memory management. After
official 7.1 release I prepare patch with query cache+SPI (if not
hit me over head, please ..)
All what will doing next time not depend on me, *it's on code developers*.
For example Jan has interesting idea about caching all plans which
processing backend. But it's far future and IMHO we must go by small
steps to Oracle's funeral :-)
If I need the query cache in the my work (typical for some web+pgsql) or
will some public interest I will continue on this, if not I freeze it.
(Exists more interesting work like http://mape.jcu.cz ... sorry of
advertising :-)
