Performance with e.spreadsheet

[herve]

I try to developp report on a database with millions of lines. It seems that e.spreadsheet transfer all data from the database to my PC. I don't want to filter the data but just to count them. Do you know if there is a way to avoid this ? I use e.speadsheet on an IOB. Do you know if it's the same problem with a JDBC access to the database ?
Thanks for our answer.

You can always write a stored procedure/function that would just return the # of rows of your query. Therefore the data will not be transfered down. Then eSS can access this stored procedure/function instead.
