Re: SQL Pagination

Simple reason for pagination. Performance.

Not all of us are blessed with faster download speed so if there is a large number of items to download pagination will usually get the user what they want in the first page or two.

I too wrestle with the download counts (particularly on IBM sites) but almost always there is a download all key. Now it’s the best of all worlds.

I have been reading up on options to implement pagination into some of our
web enquiries.

No answer to your question, sorry. But…

Is there a compelling reason to implement pagination?

Personally I perceive a "paginated" list as a major nuisance. I can comfortably scroll with the mouse wheel through a list no matter how many entries, and find what I'm searching for with the browser's find command very quickly and efficiently. With the increasing ubiquity if "paginating" I find myself dealing with cumbersome and needless klicks to "next page" more often than not.

Please think twice. Just saying.

:wq! PoC
