look into using cursors. that way you can fetch a few records at a time
from a select.
also make sure to put it in a begin - end transaction block. i think
you can get help on declare in psql, which should tell you what you need
to know. an example of doing this would be something like:
begin;
declare cursor_name cursor for select * from test_table;
fetch 20 in cursor_name;
end;
