I know that with STRSQL interactive, I can tell it not to refresh the data
on page up, where page down will get the next page of results. This leaves
out any new record or changes to records, but would preserver the paging.

Is there some way to do that with system settings for SQL?

For years I've written Web Applications using dynamic SQL to build result
sets.

For example, if a user wants to search a transaction history, I give them
a bunch of fields that they can use to select records, and also options
to
sort by any of the columns. Pretty simple when using dynamic SQL.

For paging I store the RRN of the result set so when they click
"previous"
or "next" I use relative positioning with my SQL. Works great.

Now in this particular case where we're querying a transaction file it
gets updated very often. Lets say a few records every minute. So lets
say they view page one, click next so they're on page 2. Then next so
they're on page 3. During this time, 10 new records were added. So
they
go back which should be page 2, but it's really (for lack of a better
term) page 2.5 since more records have been added. :) So it loses the
positioning.

So, without using persistance, temp files, etc.. anyone have any ideas
here? Or is this a case where "that's just how it will work".

Thanks!
