Thanks Martijn,

"Well, in the backend you can do things like open a btree index, setup
an ScanKey to indicate which values you want and then keep calling
getnext(). If you set your scankey to (col1 >= 'A') it will start at
'A' and go up from there... "

That looks suspiciously much like cursors. Isn't this what you're looking for?:

OPEN curs1 FOR SELECT * FROM foo WHERE key = mykey;
FETCH cursor INTO target;
CLOSE cursor;

(from: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/plpgsql-cursors.html#PLPGSQL-CURSOR-DECLARATIONS )

I figure the other PL/ languages feature cursors as well, but I've never used those.
