There is no distinction; rows are sent as they are generated.
Yes, but a SELECT can return 50000 rows, and as you say, postgresql
sends the rows as they are generated.
My question still remain unclear to me:
when postgres has finished processing the select, just before sending
the first row(1), in the middle(2), or at the end(3), when the last
row has been sent ?
If I send the CancelRequest when postgres is in point 3, I'm too late,
but if postgres is in 1 or 2, the CancelRequest will have some effect.
I'm still wrong here ?
thanks for clarification the concept!

raimon
