RE: Reactor For CF query.setMaxRows()

[Baz]

> given that each RDBMS may have a different keyword for limiting the number of returned results, it might be difficult to work this into Reactor.   A big role of Reactor is to generate db-specific output from consistent input. My feeling is that Reactor is perfectly suited to handle such a job.  And I know you can fake MySQL’s LIMIT functionality in MS-SQL (I’m sure in other DBs as well). There could be a new method called Search() for gateway objects, that accepts arguments like:  - StartRow  - MaxRows  - Keywords  - sortByFieldList   And have it return a struct that includes:  - SearchResult.Query (the actual query result of your search)  - SearchResult.TotalRows (total rows of query had you not limited it thru MaxRows)   You could build a nice pagination tag that just takes the SearchResult struct.   Baz     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Seth Petry-Johnson Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 1:12 PM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: Re: Reactor For CF query.setMaxRows()   I meant to add this to my last post:  given that each RDBMS may have a different keyword for limiting the number of returned results, it might be difficult to work this into Reactor.  On 2/10/06, Seth Petry-Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Is MySql's LIMIT similar to MS SQL's TOP keyword?   i.e. select top 5 blahID, blahName from someTable order by blahID to return 5 rows with the lowest IDs?   On 2/10/06, Michael Lantz <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: I have to agree that some sort of functionality like that would be great for pagination, and, short of writing your own query and bypassing Reactor, I don't see how this could be done within the framework as it now stands.

When displaying large paginated recordsets i like to use the power of MySQL's LIMIT clause and provide an offset so I only get back the rows I will be displaying, like... SELECT * FROM tblName LIMIT 10 OFFSET 20 I don't know whether this works in other DB's. So is there anyway to implement this in Reactor?  Seems to me that the query object would need a setOffset() method, but that might break in dbs other than mysql. If this is "application functionality that is needed by the developer that may seem, to the developer, like it should be a job of the framework itself" then feel free to shoot me down ;)  At the moment I'm still trying to get my head around Reactor so working out where it should end and my application starts is a little blurry atm.
