I have noticed when comparing PG to Oracle, which I am doing, that

Oracle with SQL*Plus returns the query result set right away and lets
you start paging thru it, while

PostgreSQL psql waits until the entire query result set is obtained
before letting you see the first row.

Is there a way to alter that?

Thanks,
