Is there a way, using the getIteratorByQuery, of *not* instatiating the
objects on a .next call ? I don't think there is, but I wanted to check to
be sure.

I would like to be able to skip the first n records of the record set
without instantion of the objects; this may well be more resource-friendly.

Cheers,

Charles.
