As you have seen, opening a table (and fetching everything to the
client) is not acceptable. It takes a lot of time, and - what is
more important - it is detrimental to your database's health: you are
keeping a transaction open all the time while the application is in
use - possibly for hours - and you will eventually have to pay a price.
Make the user decide on what is to be shown, fetch those
records. Commit transactions whenever appropriate (and rather
often). Browsing umpteen records is not the way to do it (in
particular over a slow network).
And don't use Table components if you can avoid it.
