NuBBeR,

    Unfortunately, there really isn't a way to do this (for most DBs, SQL
Server being one of them).

    If you have multiple queries executing, then you can give a progress
indicator for the overall operation (over the multiple queries), but not for
the progress of the individual query.

    You can still provide something to indicate that the application is
alive. For example, take the search progress bar in windows (it bounces
back and forth, just to indicate it is doing something).

    Hope this helps.
