as i know thread.join means calling thread waits in indefinitely till the other thread terminated.so it might be the bottle neck. the other thing is usually we use threads for concurrent processing so if we don't ask the threads to wait till other thread comes they will work independently

is there any special way of retrieving data from a huge database , because i've developed an app that reads from database and returns a dataset.then in the app using the dataset i fill a listview with each record in dataset. when the records increasing in the DB the time taken to fill the list view also increasing,(i'm using a simple select * query) so i want to reduce this time .
