Thanks, I appreciate the compliments. It proves that I implemented it
smoothly. You might notice a delay it when you're connected to the
server over a slow line.
Look at the code if you don't believe that data is really loaded on
demand. Every time a row is touched that's not in the cache
(!line->cols), sqlTable::GetValue will consult the Dataset for the
column values of that row.

Fortunately libpq supplies this value. sliders that don't represent the
position are a Mega-PITA, degrading the slider to a "next page" button.
I'd never code stuff like that.
