Subject Slow FieldByName
Author Helton de Oliveira
Hi,

I need to get a field value by it's name. When i use a TIBOQuery, it took an
average of 30 miliseconds to get the field value of 10000 records with the
following code:

Value := FieldByName('SomeField').Value;

If i use a TIB_Cursor, it gets an average of 300 miliseconds to do the job.
About ten times more than the TIBOQuery with the same code !!

Why the TIB_Cursor's FieldByName method is so slow ?

Is there any other method of catching the field value by it's name other
than FieldByName ? I already tried the FieldValue method with similar
results...

Thanks in advance,

Helton
