(my second reply to the same message)

I just found this in the JDBC specification:

"For maximum portability, columns within a row should be read in
left-to-right order, and each column should only be read once. This
reflects implementation limitations in some underlying database
protocols."

This means that it would be possible to stream responses too, even with
the current protocol. But it's very impractical for the user, so it's
not a very good solution.
