Hi All!

In one of my application, I would like to implement incremental
fetching. The problem is that I would like to run it
from a stateless application server, so I have to tell where
to begin fetching data. It is simple for a table which has single column
primary key, but causes difficulties (at least for me) in
a more-column primary key..

Let say I have a table wich has the primary key: itemkey,location

table1
------
itemkey
location
...
--------


select * from table1 LIMIT x

gives me the first x row of the result.
After that, I save the last value, and next time, I adjust
the query as

select * from table1 where itemkey>:lastvalue LIMIT x

Why do you complicate it so much? Everything you need is:

select * from table1 LIMIT x
select * from table1 LIMIT x OFFSET x
select * from table1 LIMIT x OFFSET 2*x

Remember to sort rows before using limit/offset.

Tomasz Myrta
