Fwd: Speed with offset clause - Mailing list pgsql-performance

<excerpt>

Hmm, I can't do this, i'm afraid.  Or it would be rather difficult


My query is executed through a webpage (link to the page in a
navigation bar)

I do not know how many records there are (data is changing, and
currently is 600k records)


The only thing I could do, is doing this in a function where I first
get the page, and then decide whether to use the normal sort order or
the reversed order

That would put my weak point right in the middle, which is not that
bad, but I would like to find an easier way, if that is possible


Huge memory would help ?

23999, I issue the offset of 23999 * 25

improving this is hard, but not impossible.

if you have right index created, try to reverse the order and fetch

first adverts, and then resort it (just the 25 adverts) in correct

order.

it will be faster.
