Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was odd to have to cast to a
const in this case. I changed the call like such:
 res = PQexecPrepared(serverp->connection,       serverp->queryps[BILLING_INSERTROUTED]->prephandle,       nparm,(const
char*const*)parms,NULL,NULL,1);
 

If the prototype had been for const char** I would not have needed to
change anything, the API author I guess is being thorough.
