Yes, I know it sounds a little optimistic :) It's not a problem if I read the whole rowset into memory and then start sending it, but this can cause massive memory usage and time delays. It's not such a big deal if it's not possible, I'll just have to use a Microsoft style progress bar (i.e. one that keeps resetting).
