I'd recommend using the component set you currently use (you don't say).
Just use the correct one. e.g. a cursor component is non buffered and is
designed for this specific purpose. You open it, traverse it once from top
to bottom and close it.
Depends on which connection set you use but they should have such a
component which executes without delay and is very light weight in your
application.
