IMO, I don't think you can have an universal solution. Paging is not included as a standard feature in SQL specifications (see SQL standardization <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL#Standardization>). Hence, pagination is an extension for DBMS. So different vendors have implemented it in different manners. Therefore you cannot have an universal solution. You have to tackle different DBMS manually.
Even though you cannot have RDBMS universal solution, you can use JPA and it will handle different DBMS for you. E.g. Query q = ...; q.setFirstResult (0); q.setMaxResults (10); On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 8:31 AM, Dulitha Wijewantha <duli...@wso2.com> wrote: > Hi guys, > I am working on creating a device listing API that supports pagination.
