Richard,

What is the context for the question? Is the "consumer" of a page an RPG program, or are asking about an RPG program delivering pages to a remote client such as .Net? Do you need to "first", "last", in addition to "next", and "prior"? Do you need to display "Page n of n total"? Do you need an option to "Go to page ___"?

-Nathan

Subject: SQL Paging Mechanism

I am about to put together an SQL based paging mechanism over a resultset that could be very large.

Can anyone share their preferred mechanism for paging efficiently thru an SQL resultset without bringing back all records at the same time.

I have played with putting a row number on each row and setting the starting row number and that seems to be OK, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards,
Richard Schoen
