I don't quite understand you. The information isn't retrieved as a table or array, it's retrieved as a record set. It's then put into a table by the ASP program. The ASP program could put it into an array just as easily.
You'll find that most of the solutions deal with how to "page" information from the database so that the user can work through it in small chunks. This means that the browser goes back to the server and the server goes back to the database each time the user presses the "next" button. There could also be approaches that send all the information to the browser at once, and then provide a local browser-based paging facility (e.g. from an array). In general, ASP itself cannot hold large amounts of data for a user between pages - the solution will either work entirely inside the browser or will retrieve the required data from the database each time the user presses "next". However, I'd again recommend a redesign. Users do not want to have to work through huge amounts of data. It really doesn't matter whether it's all in one place or in many pages - they just don't want it. The system should be redesigned. If they absolutely have to be presented with all this data, then I'd suspect that they'd prefer it not to be broken into separate pages - there's a perfectly good "page down" key and/or scroll bar to help them get through it.
