PHP/PostgreSQL:проверете дали вече съществува подготвен израз

Един начин (надявам се някой да посочи по-опростен):

<?
$prepared_statement_name = 'activity1';
$mydbname = '...';

$conn = pg_connect("host=... port=... dbname=... user=... password=...");

$result = pg_query_params($conn, 'SELECT name FROM pg_prepared_statements WHERE name = $1', array($prepared_statement_name));

if (pg_num_rows($result) == 0) {
    $result = pg_prepare($conn, $prepared_statement_name, 'SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE datname =  $1');
}

$result = pg_execute($conn, $prepared_statement_name, array($mydbname));
while($row = pg_fetch_row($result)) {
    var_dump($row);
}
