This is right. But nonetheless, I was just wondering what the results would have been. Any idea

Hi Benny
How big your dataset will be
It will be impractical keep a huge dataset in memory, not only this consum
a lot of resources on the client machine but working with it will be als
resource intensive, remember that a database engine is an optimized tool t
handle big quantities of data and perform operations on them
In this case would be more efficient to hit the DB several times and ge
only the subset needed at the moment than gets all the data and manipulat
it from memory

Hi When I load a dataset with data obtained from a db, the dataset is store
in the memory of the client system. AFAIK the size of the dataset (whic
implicitly mean the number of rows that can be inserted in the dataset) i
limited by the client system's memory What happens when the dataset exceeds this limit? I suppose Windows wil
start using the virtual memory. But what will happen if even this i
surpassed? Is there any way to know how much memory I could use beforehan
so that I can use that much memory only Thanks a lot
