The order is not really guaranteed, though if this is a one-shot thing,

When I read this, I assumed there was a runtime parameter I could set that 
was similar to ENABLE_HASHJOIN. Are you referring to a different runtime 
parameter or something else entirely?
BTW the concatenation function you suggest works nicely except that as you 
noted, it concatenates in an unpredictable order, so I'm now trying to solve 
that problem.

memo_id | sequence | memo_text

You have :
SELECT your_concat( memo_text ) FROM table GROUP BY memo_id
You can use :
SELECT your_concat( memo_text ) FROM
(SELECT memo_id, sequence, memo_text FROM table ORDER BY memo_id, sequence  
OFFSET 0) AS foo
GROUP BY memo_id

the OFFSET 0 may be necessary (or not). Try it !
