If you're using this to provide "pages" of results, could you use a cursor?
What do you mean by that? Cursor?
Yes I'm using this to provide "pages", but If I jump to the last pages it goes very slow.
DECLARE mycursor CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM ... FETCH FORWARD 10 IN mycursor; CLOSE mycursor;
Repeated FETCHes would let you step through your results. That won't work if you have a web-app making repeated connections.
If you've got a web-application then you'll probably want to insert the results into a cache table for later use.
