To those who know far more than I,

I have set up several tables in postgres, and am concerned
with the speed of retrieval that I am getting when doing
large retrieves across the network.

Since the drives where the data is stored is NFS mounted
to the machine where postgres runs, I would like to access
the functions that would bring back the tuples directly
from the file rather than using the postmaster.

I turned to the manual and read the section on FastPath
and this seemed the way to go, but the lack of description
made it fairly rough going.

Can someone point me in the right direction to begin solving
my problem.

Thanx in advance
Glen.
