pg_prepared_statements

The pg_prepared_statements view displays all of the prepared statements that are available in the current session. See PREPARE for more information about prepared statements.

pg_prepared_statements contains one row for each prepared statement. Rows are added to the view when a new prepared statement is created and removed when a prepared statement is released (for example, with the DEALLOCATE command).

The pg_prepared_statements view is read-only.
