ISQL should handle massive result sets with grace and aplomb

Even laptops have lots of RAM these days: 1G or 2G is not
uncommon, and the amounts will only grow.

Tables like satmp_request_time also grow rapidly, as busy
servers produce multi-gigabyte request level log files.

Put the two together, and it's not uncommon to want to
quickly browse through tens or hundreds of thousands of rows
in a GUI, and ISQL is that GUI.

ISQL should handle massive result sets with grace and
aplomb. If there isn't enough RAM, it should offer the
option of "windowing" the result set; i.e., disposing of
earlier rows to make room for later rows as scrolling
proceeds. If it doesn't "window" in reverse, that's OK... I
really just want to be able to look at the whole thing at
least once.
