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 Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Mercadante, Thomas F INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
