Dynamic JCombobox for a very big database resulset

Question

I want to use a JCombobox or similar for selecting values from a big database resultset. I'm using an editable one with SwingX autocomplete decorator. My strategy is:
* show only first Xs regs.
* let the user to enter some text in the combobox and refine the search reloading the model.
Someone have some sample code or know some components that do that.
Or can point me to some implementation details?�
A lot of thanks in advance,
PD:
I need something efficient that don't query database to much.

Answer 1

what is the size of the table and how many lines are you going to delete?
I would recommend you to delete only up to 5000 or 10000 records in one step.
do 100 times.
select *
          from
          into table itab.
          where
          up to 10.000 records.
if ( itab is initial )
  exit.
endif.
delete ... from table itab.
commit work.
If this is still too slow, than you should create a secondary index with zone.
You can drop the index after the deletion is finished.
