Is there a way to page sql results? Also, it would be awesome if I could use rlwrap with `dolt sql`, so I can use the shortcuts I'm used to in an REPL environment.

Yeah, the SQL shell needs some work, including its readline implementation which is kind of broken. Filed an issue for this:

Awesome. Yeah, my question wasn't clear, but I meant paging in the shell, as you correctly assumed. In a pinch, I can run page an inline `dolt sql -q` query in the OS shell. But it would be idea to be able to page results in the dolt shell, as we can in most SQL database shells.

BTW, I should have written it above, but dolthub/dolt is quite impressive. I hope you all make it, because it's a great product that I would love to use at work if I eventually shift back over to a data science position (right now, working as a software dev).
