Thanks Oliver for your answer.

My real question is: am I turning the right knob with
"prepareThreshold=0" ? I want all queries to be planned taking into
account the parameter values by default. I can turn this off on special
cases by setting the prepare threashold on the statement level - if the
prepareThreshold is affecting at all the fact that parameters are sent
for planning or not... is it ?

I was supposing it is, but I could not figure it out from the logging -
and the results in query execution time seem to contradict what I get by
explain on a PREPARE (which suck the same as my production system) vs.
on direct sql with parameters included (which seems to yield the correct
plan). The actual case is a query including a table which has one id
value which has very skewed cardinality compared to the average, and the
generic plan sucks badly for this one id.

Thanks,
Csaba.
