When I execute: SELECT * FROM table WHERE data = 10 LIMIT 250 OFFSET 500000 It's very fast, but it's get much slower (10 times) when I add an ORDER BY clause, like rowid ASC or rowid DESC. I'm trying to understand why this is. It seems like SQLite is actually performing an actual sort behind the scenes, while I expected it to just iterate in reverse order (because rowid is always incremental), which should give comparable performance as the first query? _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
