Hi Peeps,

I'm connecting to a SQL Server using server side cursors.  If I do the
following:

SELECT * FROM big_table

Followed by:

RecordSet.FindFirst("keyfield = 123")

What will actually happen?  Will the client pull the entire dataset
down and perform the search locally, or will the client & server do
some magic and only send those records that match?

I realise that this is far from ideal (should use a WHERE clause) but
I'm looking into migrating a large legacy app to a SQL backend and
this could be a good first step.

I'm using ADO.

Cheers!
