I'm not sure if PREPARE should return the info directly.
Maybe it should be returned only when it is requested.

More detailed field info is needed anyway.
For example the RowDescription contains neither
the base column name, the table name nor the
schema name currently and so the current odbc
driver couldn't return the info correctly.
The ODBC function SQLDescribeCol or SQLColAttribute
requires various kind of fields' info.
It's almost impossible to get parameters' info
currently. The ODBC function SQLDescribeParam
isn't implemented yet....
