   <code class="command">DISCARD</code> releases internal resources associated with a
   database session.  This command is useful for partially or fully
   resetting the session's state.  There are several subcommands to
   release different types of resources; the <code class="command">DISCARD ALL</code>
   variant subsumes all the others, and also resets additional state.
  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.101.6"><h2>Parameters</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">PLANS</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      Releases all cached query plans, forcing re-planning to occur
      the next time the associated prepared statement is used.

      Discards all cached sequence-related state,
      including <code class="function">currval()</code>/<code class="function">lastval()</code>
      information and any preallocated sequence values that have not
      yet been returned by <code class="function">nextval()</code>.
      (See <a class="xref" href="sql-createsequence.html" title="CREATE SEQUENCE"><span class="refentrytitle">CREATE SEQUENCE</span></a> for a description of
      preallocated sequence values.)

      Releases all temporary resources associated with the current
      session and resets the session to its initial state.
      Currently, this has the same effect as executing the following sequence
      of statements:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
CLOSE ALL;
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION DEFAULT;
