Here is some code that illustrates the problem. It is a dspf and rpg
program. It measures the time it takes to write a page to the subfile.
Use F8 to add more rows to the table. watch as the more rows in the table
the slower the paging performance.

If you use ROW_Number() or an Order By in a Subquery and then select only
20
rows, the complete query must be executed first (i.e. all rows must be
sorted and numbered) before the desired (first 20) rows can be selected.
For
huge tables it may take a lot of time.

What if you execute first the sub-query to return the 20 rows you need, an
number the result in a second sub-query?
Something like this:
exec sql
select a.seqnbr, a.rownum
into :vSeqnbr, :vRownum
from (Select SeqNbr, Row_Number() Over(Order By SeqNbr)
rowNum
From (select a.seqnbr, row_number( ) over(order by
a.seqnbr ) rownum
from dsh3526p a
where a.seqnbr > :inTopKey.seqnbr
order by a.seqnbr
fetch first 20 rows only ) a) b

where rownum >= :inSflPagSx
order by rownum
fetch first row only ;

or (IMHO this is more readable)
Exec SQL
With x as (Select SeqNbr
From DSH3526P
Where .SeqNbr > :inTopKey.SeqNbr
Order By SeqNbr
Fetch First 20 Rows Only)
y as (Select Row_Number() Over(Order By SeqNbr), SeqNbr
From x)
Select SeqNbr, RowNum into :vSeqnbr, :vRownum
From y
Where SeqNbr > :inSflPagx
Fetch first row only;

Make also sure that there is an index (or logical file) with the SeqNbr
key
field.

Betreff: row_number performing badly in table with a lot of rows

experimenting with using row_number to implement a SKIP type function.
Where an inner query use row_number to assign a sequential number to the
selected rows. And then the outer query says WHERE rownum >= 20 to skip
over
the first 20 of the selected rows. The objective being to page thru the
rows of a table, either forward or backward.

Here is the code for paging forward:
exec sql
select a.seqnbr, a.rownum
into :vSeqnbr, :vRownum
from (

select a.seqnbr, row_number( )
over( order by a.seqnbr ) rownum
from dsh3526p a
where a.seqnbr > :inTopKey.seqnbr
order by a.seqnbr
fetch first 20 rows only ) a

where a.rownum >= :inSflPagSx
order by a.rownum
fetch first row only ;

The code works. And it performs well enough when there are up to 50,000
rows
in the table. But the more rows in the table the slower the execution.

How can I use row_number in this manner efficiently? I tried the code
where
I have a 3rd nested query which simply runs "fetch first 20 rows only",
returning those rows to the query which assigns the row_number which
returns
its result rows to the outer query. Same poor performance.

thanks,
