  cmd.Connection = pgConnection;
  pgConnection.Open();
  try
  {

    while (reader.Read())
    {
      for (int i=0;i<reader.FieldCount;i++)
      {
        Console.Write("\t"+reader[i]);
      }
      Console.WriteLine();

    pgConnection.Close();
  }
}
Public Sub FetchResults(ByVal pgConnection As PgSqlConnection)
  Dim cmd As PgSqlCommand = New PgSqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Test.Dept")
  cmd.FetchSize = 100
  cmd.Connection = pgConnection
  pgConnection.Open()
  Try
    Dim reader As PgSqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
    While reader.Read()
      Dim i
      For i = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
        Console.Write(String.Concat(" ", reader(i)))
      Next i
      Console.WriteLine()
    End While
  Finally
    pgConnection.Close()
  End Try
