updating a progress bar based on the time taken by a query to perform some action

hi guys i have a lengthy operation that imports allot of records into a
table, what i would like is to give the user some visual feedback on the
length of this operation, preferably using a progress bar or a gauge
component.
Thanx in advance

If you know how far you have to got, a progress bar is a natural. I've
noticed that Norton and a few other commercial apps just run the progrss bar
from 1 to some max, updating every second and start over when bar progress
reaches max. Kind of like an animated hourglass cursor just to keep the
user calm. I suppose you could trigger it with a TTimer or by just saving
and checking time since last progress update in the loop.
