Row operation in Net-SNMP

Hi, Dave et al,

I have a puzzle of Net-SNMP table operation, for example I have a table like below:

a1-a2-a3-a4
b1-b2-b3-b4
c1-c2-c3-c4

In net-snmp, if I use iterator helper to implement the table handler, it will translate the getbulk request to bunch of get request, the order is:
a1->b1->c1->a2->b2->c2.....

So it's first column then send column and so on. In my case, the data is stored ourside in row order, like first row, second row. a1->a2->a3->a4->b1->b2....
I can read the whole row one time, and then return all the values for the whole row. Then I only need read outside data 3 times for the whole table. But in the itorator helper, I will need to read outside data 12 times for the whole table.

Do you have any good suggestion on this?

Thanks and have a nice day!
Barclay
