Hi Peter,
Thank you for your reply. I thought there might be an easy way to do it,
or CORBA server might be smarter than I thought.
But I reckon the speed has nothing to do with grid even though I did not
use dbGrid. Before doing DB search, normally we have to call
dataSet.disableControls.

If it talks too long to go to the bottom then you are
letting the users
query too much data.
This illustrates a fundemental design problem of C/S
applications that
Delphi goes a long way towards solving, but not
completely.
Basically, the golden rule is don't uses grids, which is
what I suspect you
are doing. If you must, then limit the amount of data
the user can view
with one query.
I always display an empty form first. The users must
search for something
(or add. I use a grid for navigation of the search
results but the search
is done on the server and I can control how many records
get returned to the
client - and the content.
Another idea is to return jsut enough information to
identify the record to
the user and then do a seperate request for the
remainder of each record.
In your case, jsut seperating the blob into a seperate
request may do the
trick.
