Then, my guess is that's server-side caching. Can you execute the
query via ibexpert/(similar tool)... to get additional info about
executing the statement (I mean, time to prepare, time to execute,
reads, writes, etc. for the first time and for the second)?

You may turn metadata caching on. But it is a database metadata, not a
query metadata. Look at TpFIBDatabase properties - you'll find it
there (AFAIR).
