Dataminer: faster way to get all records in a IDLdbRecordset table? [message #36461]

I want to put the records in a database table into an IDL table
widget. For fairly large tables, (> ~1500 rows), it's fairly slow and
I get "Not responding" in the Task Manager for awhile while I'm
getting each record. Here's what I'm doing now:

ors=obj_new('IDLdbRecordset', table=tablename)
status=ors->moveCursor(/first)
if status eq 1 then begin
rec=ors->getRecord()
status=ors->moveCursor(/next)
while (status eq 1) do begin
rec=[rec, ors->getRecord()]
status=ors->moveCursor(/next)
end while
endif

Is there a faster way to get all of the records?

My database is on a Sun running Oracle. IDL is on a Win2000 Pro
machine. My response time is better when I'm accessing an Access
database locally. (Duh!) I haven't exported the large Oracle table to
Access yet to do a better comparison.

Thanks.
