@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ Use a PostgreSQL result cursor from node with an easy to use API.
### why?
Sometimes you need to itterate through a table in chunks. It's extremely inefficient to use hand-crafted `LIMIT` and `OFFSET` queries to do this.
Sometimes you need to iterate through a table in chunks. It's extremely inefficient to use hand-crafted `LIMIT` and `OFFSET` queries to do this.
PostgreSQL provides built-in functionality to fetch a "cursor" to your results and page through the cursor efficiently fetching chunks of the results with full MVCC compliance.
This actually ends up pairing very nicely with node's _asyncness_ and handling a lot of data. PostgreSQL is rad.
