progress indicator on getting data from database

[Tarscher]

Hi all,

I'm collecting a large datablock from a remote database (1 query). It
can easily take upto 1 minute.

Is there a way I can give the user an indication on what percentage
already has been done? Basically I want to make a progress bar for
getting the data.

regards,
Stijn

it depends on how you get the data back.

The easiest way is just using a progress bar with no real control of the
percent, just do it over and over again. As long as the user sees some
activity it should be ok
