Thanks, But my question is lets say I want to display 10 results on a page but in total I want 50 results. so 10 on each page.
I have some query like this in iBatis: SELECT rownum, table_name FROM user_tables WHERE rownum <=<some number I will pass in, in this case 10?>; so when I call this from my code. will the above query be ran 5 times??
