According to what I gather from the thread here:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&frame=right&th=7159b632785c579f&seekm=3E1BEFFE.88B57516%40tpf.co.jp#link13

PostgreSQL cannot perform a backward-scan and is forced to materialize
the result set in its entirety. So that is a backend issue
specifically, not an ODBC issue, I'm afraid.
