Hm, but surely you can get it to fetch more than one row at once? This previous post says that someone else solved an ODBC performance problem with UseDeclareFetch=1: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2006-08/msg00014.php It's not immediately clear why pgAdmin would have the same issue, though, because AFAIK it doesn't rely on ODBC. I just finished looking through our archives for info about Windows-specific network performance problems. There are quite a few threads, but the ones that were solved seem not to bear on your problem (unless the one above does). I found one pretty interesting thread suggesting that the problem was buffer-size dependent: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2006-12/msg00269.php but that tailed off with no clear resolution. I think we're going to have to get someone to watch the problem with a packet sniffer before we can get much further. regards, tom lane
