 ### `prepared_statements`
 
-Enables support for prepared statements. Available options are:
-
-- `disabled`
-- `extended`
-- `extended_anonymous`
-- `full`
-
-`full` enables support for rewriting prepared statements sent over the simple protocol. `extended` handles prepared statements sent normally
-using the extended protocol. `extended_anonymous` caches and rewrites unnamed prepared statements, which is useful for some legacy client drivers.
+Controls which prepared statement protocols PgDog rewrites for its global cache.

+| Setting | Extended named | Extended anonymous | Simple `PREPARE`/`EXECUTE` | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `disabled` | no | no | no | Statements are forwarded as-is with no rewriting. |
+| `extended` | yes | no | no | Default. Rewrites named extended-protocol statements (`Parse`/`Bind`/`Execute`). |
+| `extended_anonymous` | yes | yes | no | Also rewrites unnamed (anonymous) extended-protocol statements. |
+| `full` | yes | no | yes | Superset of `extended`. Also rewrites simple-protocol `PREPARE`/`EXECUTE`. Requires parsing every query; higher CPU cost. |

 Statements sent over the simple protocol are not checked against the global cache. Each new statement is given a unique
 global name. Since this requires PgDog to parse _each_ incoming query, and that's computationally expensive, this feature is **disabled** by default.

+    `full` extends `extended`: it rewrites named extended-protocol statements in addition to simple-protocol `PREPARE`/`EXECUTE`.

 You can enable it in [`pgdog.toml`](../configuration/pgdog.toml/general.md#prepared_statements):
