Huge SWT/JFace Tables with filtering

i want to populate a SWT Virtual Table with a huge amount of rows (up to 3 mio). When i use a lazy content provider i can't use filters and when iI use a normal content provider the performance on changing the filter gets very bad. Is there any way to filter big tables in SWT or JFace?

Solution

  • You need to filter at the data provider level.

    So if your data is coming from a database, use SQL to prefilter your results.
