Hi Ted,

Are you using the "Limit to" and "Start retrieval at row number" properties
of the Search Action to manage your output in chucks of 100 records?

If so, you should know that these settings are for communicating with your
ODBC Database Driver, and not with the Database directly.

If there is a slow down in performance, it's likely because your particular
ODBC Driver is not filtering the output very efficiently.

Check for the latest version of your Driver, or see if your Database
supports this kind of filtering natively - in which case you'll probably
need to pass any special SQL Statement syntax via a Direct DBMS Action.

In addition, table "indexing" can also speed up queries. In many cases ODBC
Drivers can build their own indexes (in memory) - but implementing indexes
in your table design (on the key fields being queried) can be very
beneficial.

Hope this helps. Cheers....
