scrolling through records and requesting the next junk of records from the db

Hi,

I am doing a VB.NET application with SQL Server 2000 and I need to implement
a database search facility that will normally return lots of records. Those
records will then be displayed in a datagrid.
What I want to do is not to create a complete dataset but a partial one, and
whenever i reach the end of the partial dataset i want the database to
return the next part of the dataset.

My first guess would be to create a client cursor and fill it up with say a
100 records. The 100 records are then displayed on the datagrid (and the
vertical scroll bars appear on the datagrid). Attempting to scroll the
datagrid beyond the last (or first) record will generate a db request for
the next 100 records and so on....

The application i am working on is not a web app.

Is this the correct approach to the problem? if yes, how do i define such
cursors on SQLServer2000 ?

Thanks
Ioannis Demetriades

Hello, I have a rather large (100+ MB) FASTA file from which I need to access records in a random order. The FASTA format is a standard format for storing molecular biological sequences. Each record contains a header line for describing the sequence that begins with a '>' (right-angle bracket) followed by lines that contain the actual sequence data. Three example FASTA records are below: >CW127_A01...

I have a form with two DataGrids, which are kept in sync manually via Stored PROCEDURE calls. That is, when a record is selected on the first grid, a stored PROCEDURE is CALLed to Fill() the next second DataGrid's DataSource. All that works very well. And, when there are no records to display, it is simply left blank. My issue is that when i scroll the first one, sometimes the second grid shows a bunch of null values (a "new" record). ...

Hello, I have a simple script to parse a text file (a visual basic program) and convert key parts to tcl. Since I am only working on specific sections and I need it quick, I decided not to learn/try a full blown parsing module. My simple script works well until it runs into functions that straddle multiple lines. For example: Call mass_write(&H0, &HF, &H4, &H0, &H5, &H0, &H6, &H0, &H7, &H0, &H8, &H0, _

Is there a workaround to the bug that loses the first record in a continuous form after using the scroll wheel if the available records don't fill the form? I know that the "up arrow" section of the scrollbar can be clicked to show the record again but this is hardly intuitive to the user. Any help is appreciated.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
