Just FYI, I'm interested in this extension as well.
At the moment, the PostgreSQL driver in TrollTech's Qt will fetch the complete
result of any select-query as opposed to for example the Oracle driver which
will fetch just the rows that are desired. This results in the fact that for
example database-enabled tables in the UI won't do the initial paint as
'snappy' as they could since although they will show only part of the
result-set, the underlying driver is still picking up the complete set or
records from the backend.
