database level is far more efficient.
Returning 250,000 rows from a database to an app server is something you
should never do. Even if the database can handle it properly, when CF
creates it's in-memory static representation in a QueryTable it will take a
lot of time.

Have you looked at the docs for cfquery ?
In particular maxRows ?
If you query can't return 250K rows in something like stright away, you need
to look at your hardware/indexes urgently :-)
