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

--- | --- | ---
`name` | `text` | The identifier of the prepared statement
`statement` | `text` | The query string submitted by the client to create this prepared statement. For prepared statements created via SQL, this is the `PREPARE` statement submitted by the client.

`prepare_time` | `timestamptz` | The time at which the prepared statement was created
`parameter_types` | `regtype[]` | The expected parameter types for the prepared statement in the form of an array of `regtype`. The OID corresponding to an element of this array can be obtained by casting the `regtype` value to `oid`.
