I may have miscommunicated. The results below are from the 'select * from
SYS_INFO.sUSRTableColumns' that you wanted me to run. I don't know why it
took so long on the client - I'm using a wireless net that isn't THAT slow. 

To answer your question directly: in the code that I've since rewritten, the
getColumns() specified a non-wildcarded catalog, schema, and table, and it
specified "%" as the column patern.

What were the filters you were applying to 'getColumns'?  It looks 
obvious from this information that the filtering is the bottleneck.

Thanks,
Toby.
