I guess my confusion comes into a lack
of terminology and understanding of how
to approach this problem. What we would
like to do is be able to perform a
search on the DB, but only show the user
10 of the results at a time. Initially
we have thought that sessions might be
the key to this, but then wondered what
would happen if the user had more than
one browser window open, clearly they
would be clobbering each others cached
search results, no?
So we have also thought about perhaps
using another table to store the results
from each search performed associated
with each browser window through
attempting to add a unique value to a
query string which will also be the PK
in the table of search results. This way
we can move the current record pointer
forward and backwards at will and allow
for people having more than one browser
window open while doing searches.
Do these concerns/strategies sound sane?
If not, maybe it is a reflection of my
own state of mind (i.e. insane :)
Many thanks to those that have currently
contributed to this discussion.
