Error using cursors/fetch and execute
I have a problem...
We're using cursors to be able to fetch X tuples from the server.
If we would take 'em all our app would blow up because of memory
constraints.
What i would like to is something like this:
mag=# create table test (id serial unique primary key, txt text);
mag=# insert into test(txt) values('hoho1');
mag=# prepare berra (integer) as select * from test where id = $1;
mag=# declare berra_c cursor for execute berra(1);
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "execute" at character 28
Is there any other way of fetching less than all rows at once, similar
to that of using cursors. I don't use it for any other purpose than
that.

Just
begin;
declare berra cursor for select * from test where id = 1;
fetch 100 from berra;
[...]
end;
