Hi all, In the past, I worked as a Oracle user. I've noted that in oracle (or maybe in that configuration), when we request a great amount of data, such like:
select * from million_records_table It does not delivers the entire table at the first moment. It delivers a little amount of data - such like a single page containing about 100 records - and awaits the cursor request the Record No 101 for fetch the next set of data. In MySQL - at least, with the default configuration I have used - it does not happens. It delivers all the million of records existent in the table, inconditionally. I know that there is the clause LIMIT <N>, to limit the first N records existing in the query, but is there a way to warrant a "delivery by demand", such Oracle does, without to have to alter the application's SQL code? Thank you
