Reducing the time to populate ListBox Controls from database
Posted on 2004-09-30
Hi,
We have a Delphi 6 application that displays a DataGrid and a ListBox that are populated from a table of an SQL Server 2000 database. The DB table contains 1,55,567 rows and it takes about 4 secs to retrieve all rows from the DB.
Now, when we try to loop thru the recordset to populate the ListBox and DataGrid, it takes almost 3 minutes to get the data into the ListBox. I would like to know if there is an apporach using which this delay can be minimised as this is a client server application and the users get anxious about the delay that occurs in populating these controls.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx.
