For comparison, the Postgresql and MySQL command line interfaces include
something similar to this.

MySQL offers the "pager" command which can be set to "less" or "grep xxxx",
etc. as well as the tee command to also send output to a file.  Postgresql
offers a single:

          \o [FILE]      send all query results to file or |pipe

Neither allow anything as simple as

        SELECT ....... ; | grep blah

though.
