Stephan Klevenz commented on OLINGO-162:
----------------------------------------
$skiptoken, $top and $skip are explained in following section of OData 2.0
spec: 2.2.3.6.1.7-9
I try to summarize:
$skip: number - seeking for n+1 record within a collection e.g.
c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) $skip=3 => c(4,5,6,7,8,9)
$top: number - seeking n records of a collection e.g. c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
$top=3 => c(1,2,3)
$skiptoken: opaque token - defined by a server to render a next link
The skiptoken identifies the starting point of a collection and the uri literal
is string: 'any token'. In simple cases the token can be equal the id of an
entity.

> Hello,
> I use $skiptoken to implement pagination in my service. What should the
> service return when $skiptoken is used in conjunction with $top and $skip?
> Should the numbers specified in $top and $skip be considered relative to the
> starting point of the page being displayed or should they be considered
> absolute values?
> For example, if I have $skiptoken=10&$top=4 should the service return the
> first 4 items of the page starting with entry number 10 or should the service
> return nothing because $skiptoken > $top? If the latter is true, then to
> obtain the first 4 entres on the second page one would have to specify
> $skiptoken=10&$top=14. Which is correct?
> Similarly, if I have $skiptoken=10&$skip=2, should the service return the
> entres on the page starting with element 10 but skipping the first 2 entres?
> Lastly, I understand that $skiptoken should represent the id of the first
> entry to display on a page. What should the id be for entities with compound
> keys (i.e. a name and a date)?
> Cheers
> Miki
