52.15. `pg_prepared_statements` #

The pg_prepared_statements view displays all the prepared statements that are available in the current session. See PREPARE for more information about prepared statements.

pg_prepared_statements contains one row for each prepared statement. Rows are added to the view when a new prepared statement is created and removed when a prepared statement is released (for example, via the DEALLOCATE command).

Table 52.15. pg_prepared_statements Columns

Column Type Description
`name` `text` The identifier of the prepared statement
`statement` `text` The query string submitted by the client to create this prepared statement. For prepared statements created via SQL, this is the `PREPARE` statement submitted by the client. For prepared statements created via the frontend/backend protocol, this is the text of the prepared statement itself.
`prepare_time` `timestamptz` The time at which the prepared statement was created
`parameter_types` `regtype[]` The expected parameter types for the prepared statement in the form of an array of `regtype`. The OID corresponding to an element of this array can be obtained by casting the `regtype` value to `oid`.
`result_types` `regtype[]` The types of the columns returned by the prepared statement in the form of an array of `regtype`. The OID corresponding to an element of this array can be obtained by casting the `regtype` value to `oid`. If the prepared statement does not provide a result (e.g., a DML statement), then this field will be null.
`from_sql` `bool` `true` if the prepared statement was created via the `PREPARE` SQL command; `false` if the statement was prepared via the frontend/backend protocol
`generic_plans` `int8` Number of times generic plan was chosen
`custom_plans` `int8` Number of times custom plan was chosen
