All,

My current application is written in VB accessing the Oracle back-end.  I
have just been asked about how to execute a query that may return many
thousands of rows, but only display, let's say, 1000 at a time.  After the
first set of rows was returned, the user would click a button and request
the next thousand.

We are currently using reference cursors and everything is working well.  I
was wondering if anyone has done something like this, and how did you do it?
I could see using an inline view and re-executing the query every time and
selecting the range of records to return.  Storing the result set in a
temporary/rollup table might also work.  I obviously would need to clear
this table out every night.

Any other ideas?

thanks
