This is the part where you use TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE + setFetchsize()
and see the driver pulling the whole resultset into memory at once?

setFetchsize() is a hint. As no-one has implemented cursor-backed
support for scrollable resultsets yet, the driver ignores the hint and
fetches the whole result set anyway.

Patches to improve this behaviour are, of course, welcome :)
