Isn't this a prime example of when to use a servlet or something similar
in function? It will create the cursor, maintain it, and fetch against
it for a particular page.

DECLARE mycursor CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM ...
FETCH FORWARD 10 IN mycursor;
CLOSE mycursor;
Repeated FETCHes would let you step through your results. That won't
work if you have a web-app making repeated connections.
If you've got a web-application then you'll probably want to insert the
results into a cache table for later use.
