DBD::Pg - PostgreSQL database driver for the DBI module

prepare

$sth = $dbh->prepare($statement, \%attr);

Prepares a statement for later execution. PostgreSQL supports prepared statements, which enables DBD::Pg to only send the query once, and simply send the arguments for every subsequent call to execute(). DBD::Pg can use these server-side prepared statements, or it can just send the entire query to the server each time. The best way is automatically chosen for each query. This will be sufficient for most users: keep reading for a more detailed explanation and some optional flags.....
