I'm assuming you're using this: http://laurenz.github.io/oracle_fdw/ If you check the docs, you'll see this: https://github.com/laurenz/oracle_fdw#foreign-table-options So I'm guessing you could: ALTER FOREIGN TABLE remote_table OPTIONS ( SET prefetch 10240 ); -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
