what does "stop" actually stop?

[Beemer Biker]

Never gave much thought to this till now. If I inadvertantly issue a
request that causes too much data to be sent back I can click on "stop". OK,
I no longer get stuff back. What about the web server on one system that is
accessing the sql server on another to get the data and sent it to me? Is
it smart enough to know not to bother getting the rest of the data that my
sqlquery formed? I am coding the server using VS8 web project. Was
wondering if I should add a "Cancel" button to the web gui or just let the
"stop" take care of things. I am new to this, but when I used CBuilder6
for a win app I needed the "Cancel" and the ESC key was also recognized a
means to stop the sqlquery.

I am 99% certain the stop ONLY stops the browser's actions and a request
being processed server side will still process even if stop is pressed.

Make that 99.8%.
