SPI_prepare(query, nargs, argtypes)
SPI_prepare 
   creates and returns an execution plan (parser+planner+optimizer) but doesn't
   execute the query. Should only be called from a connected procedure.
   When the same or similar query is to be executed repeatedly, it may
   be advantageous to perform query planning only once.
   SPI_prepare converts a query string into an execution
   plan that can be passed repeatedly to SPI_execp.
   A prepared query can be generalized by writing parameters ($1, $2, etc)
   in place of what would be constants in a normal query.  The values of
   the parameters are then specified when SPI_execp
   is called.  This allows the prepared query to be used over a wider
   range of situations than would be possible without parameters.
Note: However, there is a disadvantage: since the planner does not know the values that will be supplied for the parameters, it may make worse query planning choices than it would make for a simple query with all constants visible.
   If the query uses parameters, their number and datatypes must be
   specified in the call to SPI_prepare.
The plan returned by SPI_prepare may be used only in current
   invocation of the procedure since SPI_finish frees memory allocated for a plan. 
   But see SPI_saveplan to save a plan for longer.
If successful, a non-null pointer will be returned. Otherwise, you'll get a NULL plan. In both cases SPI_result will be set like the value returned by SPI_exec, except that it is set to SPI_ERROR_ARGUMENT if query is NULL or nargs < 0 or nargs > 0 && argtypes is NULL.
