Hello Dmitry,

that's exactly what the driver is doing if you do a setFetchSize(10).
Nevertheless, it won't solve the problem of the server eating HUGE amounts of memory if you do a "declare foo cursor
forselect * from myhugetable". It seems  
like postgresql locks all rows (or even copies them around in memory) until the connection drops again.
