Thanks for all your answers.

I turned out that I did not read the JDBC documentation closely enough (blush)

Setting the fetchSize to 1 (or something >0) only uses a cursor if autocommit is
disabled (due to the annoying "transaction is aborted" when running DDL scripts
that have errors, I usually turn autocommit on).

With autocommit off, the rows will be returned "immediately" (so the driver is
using a cursor to fetch the data)
