Doesn't appear that way. The PHP source is somewhat cryptic, but I
don't seem much ambiguity here:
pgsql_result = PQexec(pgsql, Z_STRVAL_PP(query));
There're no conditional blocks around that, so it's the only possible
choice when pg_query() gets called in a PHP script. PHP exposes a
seperate pg_query_params() that wraps PQexecParams().

Is there any way that this (or something similar) could still apply?
