We have a system that creates reports out of our data. And we can deal with a lot of data. The idea of over 150,000 rows is not out of the question.
Unfortunately, our experience with TClientDataSet
is its limitations, because it often results in an 'insufficient memory for this operation' error, when the data gets too big.
So the question is this: Does there exist a generally available implementation of TDataSet
that can handle a large amount of data (such as streaming directly to a file and not keeping the entire dataset in memory)?
I am willing to implement such a class myself. But as far as I understand TClientDataSet
, it needs to be able to contain the data itself before it can save it to a file/stream. In addition, loading the data again should also be possible as a stream rather than loading in an entire TClientDataSet
object, because then we wouldn't have solved the issue.
