Re: [GENERAL] Count for pagination

2011-04-11 Thread Michael C Rosenstein

Any suggestions on how to get the count of all records that could be
returned


We use a window function to get the total # of records within each of 
our paginated queries:


SELECT
  ...
  ,COUNT(*) OVER() fullRowCount
FROM ...
WHERE ...
ORDER BY ...
LIMIT ... OFFSET ...;


While there is a cost to using the window  function, it's faster (for 
us) than two separate queries, and, more importantly, it's flexible 
enough to work in the 100s of different query contexts we have.

[GENERAL] Count for pagination

2011-04-08 Thread Jason Long
The main search screen of my application has pagination.

I am basically running 3 queries with the same where clause.

1.  Totals for the entire results(not just the number of rows on the
first page)
   a.  300 ms
2.   Subset of the total records on that page.
   a.  1-2 sec
3.   Count of the total records for the pagination to show the number of
pages
  a. 1-2 sec

The queries are generated by Hibernate and I am looking to rewrite them
in native SQL
to improve performance.

Any suggestions on how to get the count of all records that could be
returned and only 
a subset of those records for that  page in an optimized fashion?  I
have no problem using 
a widow query or a Postgres specific feature as my app only runs on
Postgres.
