Almost, but when you compare to a telephone directory, then the use case of
fast scrolling down in a listbox would be going directly to page 800 and not
going to "Smithson".
And yes, there is a unique key, but this doesn't help, because the list can
also be sorted to various columns.

You need to write your application like a telephone directory. To get to
the page with the "Smithson" entry on it, you do not read all the entries
starting from the begining until you get there -- you turn directly to the
page you want by doing a search.
Surely you have a unique key for the list?

fast forward / skipping rows
Hi SQLite Users,
I have a SELECT query, which returns some 100000 records and is
displayed in a scrollable ListView.
When the user scrolls down the list, each new row is loaded with
SQLite3.Step().
The problem is, when the user scrolls fast with the scroll-slider, lots
of rows are skipped, but SQLite still needs to load them all with
SQLite3.Step until it reaches the row which is actually needed. This is
very slow.
Is there a way to skip all these unnecessary rows? For example going
directly from row 1000 to row 100000 ? I tried SELECT ... OFFSET 100000
but this is also very slow the more down we go.
Thanks Tom
