MIDAS allows you to control the number of packets sent from the middle tier
server to the client (and beign the server and the DB are usually the same
machine, going between the 2 is not as much of a problem). So, if you grid
is 10 lines high, you can (slightly manually) tell it to only send over the
first 20 in the first packet, and get the rest (in blocks of "N") when it
needs to. Its not ideal, but its better than getting the entire table
accross.
"Restruct your dataset" is the same, but you use SQL and whereto narrow the
result set down (Which you can do with midas too). MIDAS also allows you to
use the normal table functions (locate etc) without so much of a performance
hit (very little in most cases)
