DbGrid does not do that, and it doesn't have to. And the best way would  
depend, I guess, on the specific situation and what set of components are  
being used.

Not sure if I understand the part on "moving the query", but using  
TDataset derived components, and without using the basic MoveBy, Locate,  
first, last, next or prev you can't. Some dataset descendants may have  
some properties that help at some cost, for example y you set  
PacketRecords:=-1 then sqldb will load all the records and in this case  
RecordCount may be reliable, that is if dataset is not filtered (or that  
seems to indicate the relevant documentation). Some datasets may actually  
return a valid record count, probably TDbf is in this case. In any case  
without using the mentioned basic operations you can't select records.
