No, I meant, prepare on one connection, next time detect if you've
prepared on that connection and execute it, otherwise prepare again.
Hopefully at some point all connections in the pool would have the
connection prepared... Not sure how heavy that would be on resources -
and if possible with the current setup.
Also what would be nice is some form of server side caching of the
preparation (if requested by the client) so that things like JPA can get
the benefits of planning once across multiple prepareStatement objects.
Just a thought
