Is there such a thing as an Asynchronous SQL query?

By this I mean if I am running a query that will return a million results, can I return a thousand at a time and append, much like how an AJAX call will return results and append to HTML?

You could write your own with the TOP function in MSSQL or the LIMIT in MySQL. Alter your query to return a maximum of 1000 records, and keep a running start index.

Appending to HTML will be a different problem. Perhaps your best option is to make a function that gets paged data on the server, and call this multiple times from the client.
