memory on the client is not such an issue - depends on the size of each row.
a million ID integers is not the same as a million rows of 350 varchar(128)
fields.....
anyway - my concern would be the server RAM. the server needs to buffer up
those records and hand them over to the client.
either way it's something to be avoided - best practice... keep your
resultsets short and snappy
