See psql's FETCH_COUNT. From the manpage:
FETCH_COUNT
If this variable is set to an integer value > 0, the results
of
SELECT queries are fetched and displayed in groups of that
many
rows, rather than the default behavior of collecting the
entire
result set before display. Therefore only a limited amount of
memory is used, regardless of the size of the result set.
