While I don't think that is quite true, I do think there is a good reason for having the resultset downloaded at once. ColdFusion expects you to use the recordset within the single request and this differs from an offline application where it can make sense to keep a connection open to a resultset. Indeed, while the initial query may take longer, it is perhaps better performing than hitting the db on each iteration within the request. Thoughts?
