You should also add an ORDER BY clause in there, as the SQL standard doesn't guarantee the order that rows are retrieved in. There's a chance that you'll get, say, 20 rows on the first page, go to the second page and get some of the rows you've already seen on the first page. If you use an ORDER BY, you'll at least guarantee that you'll get them in the same order each time.
