When you say Ttable
Are you referring to IBOTable?
I assume so.
I seem to remember Jason saying that the IBOTable still uses buffering and
loads only the required rows as necessary.
But I would still not use this method if I could for your task.
If this task is unidirectional as you seem to suggest, I would use a
IB_Cursor. You prepare it and go First;
Then loop with Next. When you get to the end you close;
If you need bi-directional movement then use IB_Query. Open with fetch first
True, then loop and close with backward movement where necessary.
I would also look at writing an SP to do this task which completely avoids
bringing the records back to the client.
