Single row fetch from backend

Hi

Does postgres support the notion of single row fetch without having to use
cursors with libpq.

What I want to do is something like

myResult = PQexec(myConnection, "select * from mytable where field >= ''")

for (int i = 0; i < PQntuples(myResult); i++) {
PQfetchRow(myResult);
}

Ie. rows are retrieved from the backend only on request. I can then control
when I want to stop retreiving rows.
