LOCK TABLE as a prepared statement?

Question

Does it make sense to prepare a LOCK TABLE statement? I'm not really concerned about efficiency here, because it would only execute once a transaction and at most a few times a minute. I'm more wondering if the concept is meaningful.

I'm using the PostgreSQL JDBC driver, if it matters.

Answer 1

Performance aside, preparing statements is useful when you have parameters in your query. Since your query has no parameters you don't need to prepare it.
