copied!<p>There are usually at least 2 separate lookups involved here, the first to get the pager information and a second to retrieve the data appropriate to the current page.</p> <p>The pager (slider) needs to know the <strong>total number results that would be returned if you weren't doing paging</strong>. This is needed to show the pretty "Total # of Results" indicator for your use and to calculate how many total pages you've got. In your case you're going to want to format a nice visual display of the pages for selection (determined by your desired records/page value) in your slider. That's your first query; it should return just a single scalar int or long and you can calculate what you need for your slider display.</p> <p>The second results include the <strong>actual records to be displayed for a given page</strong>. </p> <p><strong>Step 1 of 2</strong> for a page of data is to run a query to filter and order your results by a primary key present within the data you're returning, throwing the key values in a temp table with an AUTO_INCREMENT/IDENTITY field or getting the row number over for the results of a derived table. (Summary: 2 fields, 1 for sequence/1 for primary key to join in step 2).</p> <p><strong>Step 2 of 2</strong> is to join the key values with your tables which contain data, ordering by the sequence determined in Step 1, selecting only rows numbered (desired start row) to (desired end row) as determined by the page number and page size you've selected.</p> <p>A stored procedure is strongly advised to keep the data on the server during this operation while you're having to examine more data than you really care to bring back to optimize bandwidth.</p>
