The problem is that the server does not return any progress information. Once
a query has started, then you do not get any answers until it has finished.

Jason gets round this with datapump, by processing on record at a time and so
he can count the records processed. This is the only way of breaking up a
query so that it can be progressed. So if the lengthy procedure can not be
broken up, then you can not progress it ( other than just displaying the time
it has taken so far ).
