I want to use TClientDataSet for data that is NOT in a database. Just reading the data from a file, eg for 15000 records, takes much less than a second, but reading the data and inserting several fields into a client dataset in a simple loop takes a lot longer, eg 6 seconds or more for the same 15000 records.
The code I am using is like: with tbData do begin append; fieldbyname('FieldName1').asInteger:=Number1; fieldbyname('FieldName2').asInteger:=Number2; fieldbyname('FieldName3').asInteger:=Number3; fieldbyname('Name').asString:=Name; fieldbyname('Desc').asString:=Desc; post; end; I would like to speed this up, as I have seen that reading similar data from a Database eg with a query is much faster. Any suggestions to speed this up? I already have lines in such as tbdata.DisableControls; tbdata.EnableControls; Before and after I start reading the data to stop screen updates....
