Right, I got that. But the batch itself: if I have a SQL method that is returning a result set, is that called for each subset of records in the batch?
Yes, it is (modulo any caching you're doing on the SQL method).
OK, that is what I feared. I take it the magic insertion of a LIMIT on the SQL query happens automagically? Or does the whole thing get returned and bits dropped? Within ZPT it looks like it would be possible to subclass ZTUtils.Batch to be more intelligent about fetching information... Anyway, thanks Chris for your help. -tree -- Tom Emerson Basis Technology Corp. Software Architect http://www.basistech.com "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity: lick it once and you suck forever"
