If DBTags does not support this, how are other people doing this ? This is a basic functionality that I believe everybody uses. I think I will have to write a scriptlet if DBTags does not have it. >fetching tons of rows to only display 20 will limit the scalability of >your web application under load.

Thank you for your help Peter.
