I've looked trough our exchange on the list, but there's nothing about
that.

I found another posting which I guess you mean
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-novice/2002-12/msg00222.php).

I have put a comment in the interactive documentation for now, quoting
your original mail. This really should be in the distributed
documentation for FETCH.

So can I be sure that every non-aggregate SELECT on tables joined with
unique indexes works, independent of the WHERE or ORDER BY?

Is anybody working on implementing this functionality?

Thanks,
