[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Virtual table with or without Glazed Lists

[Kai Schlamp <schlamp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hy.

I have to present a large amount of data from a database in a table
(worst case about three million rows).
So I need a good filtering and sorting option.

I first thought about Glazed Lists, but I am not sure if it is so
usefull in my case. As the data is from a database, the filtering is
probably better realized by using different queries. Otherwise
(filtering with Glazed Lists) always the whole data has to be in memory
and is filtered there (as I understand it).
I also thought about presenting the data (if it is too large) in
different table pages.
Another option would be to use just a virtual SWT table without Glazed
Lists.

What do you recommend? Are there still advantages in my case of Glazed
Lists instead of using virtual table alone?
