Server Side Cursors

Hi All

    I was just reading Patel's post from 5-14.

    I'm one of two Forms developers in company of .net / SQL Server developers. Boss man has a hard time understanding why the SQL Server guys and gals can't populate a grid (or whatever they call it in Microschlock land) with x records at a time. He asks why my Forms apps can serve up 15 rows at a time based on user requests (page down) without having to wait for the entire result set to fill a data set (or whatever...). All I can tell him is "that's just the way it works!"

    Does anyone have an explanation of how Forms (or is it the database?) accomplishes this?
