+ <code class="command">EXECUTE</code> is used to execute a previously prepared
+ statement. Since prepared statements only exist for the duration of a
+ session, the prepared statement must have been created by a
+ <code class="command">PREPARE</code> statement executed earlier in the
+ current session.
+ </p><p>
+ If the <code class="command">PREPARE</code> statement that created the statement
+ specified some parameters, a compatible set of parameters must be
+ passed to the <code class="command">EXECUTE</code> statement, or else an
+ error is raised. Note that (unlike functions) prepared statements are
+ not overloaded based on the type or number of their parameters; the
+ name of a prepared statement must be unique within a database session.
+ </p><p>
+ For more information on the creation and usage of prepared statements,
+ see <a class="xref" href="sql-prepare.html" title="PREPARE"><span class="refentrytitle">PREPARE</span></a>.

+ The SQL standard includes an <code class="command">EXECUTE</code> statement,

+ <code class="command">EXECUTE</code> statement also uses a somewhat different
