The v3 protocol uses something like PREPARE and EXECUTE, but not those
statements as such.

You want the documentation on the fe/be protocol:

   http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/protocol.html


http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/protocol-overview.html#PROTOCOL-QUERY-CONCEPTS


http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/protocol-flow.html#PROTOCOL-FLOW-EXT-QUERY

For the exact communications used by PgJDBC you're best off checking the
sources. I haven't read the wire protocol / backend part yet.
