It doesn't actually return any results. You then have to step through the results yourself. So you can pretty much stop the query any time you'd like. And the callback mechanism is now built on top of the non-callback mechanism anyway, so you wouldn't be able to do anything with callbacks you couldn't do without them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
