aah, makes sense Thanks.

So, for future reference.. if I prepare a tx, and then execute the
prepared stmt, is there a way to associate the xid from a prepared txn
(pg_prepared_xacts) with the row in pg_stat_activity showing the
executing prepared stmt (within the current prepared txn)?  or is there
a way to see the text of a currently prepared txn so I can look for the
statement being executed in pg_stat_activity?
