I am doing a query via psql on a huge database, and I want to have its
output piped to other unix processes.
As the result set is very big, I've got: "out of memory for query
result".
How can I manage that, without playing with cursors, as I do not want
to change the sql query ?

Under mysql, I have the same issue, but by using: mysql -quick, I have
what I want.
Is there something equivalent under postgresql ? Or should I use
another clients ?


Try copy (query) to stdout.
For me, psql sits at 4.9mb ram on a 3x10^16 row query.
