Paging with Oracle

Viewed 153027

I am not as familiar with Oracle as I would like to be. I have some 250k records, and I want to display them 100 per page. Currently I have one stored procedure which retrieves all quarter of a million records to a dataset using a data adapter, and dataset, and the dataadapter.Fill(dataset) method on the results from the stored proc. If I have "Page Number" and "Number of records per page" as integer values I can pass as parameters, what would be the best way to get back just that particular section. Say, if I pass 10 as a page number, and 120 as number of pages, from the select statement it would give me the 1880th through 1200th, or something like that, my math in my head might be off.

I'm doing this in .NET with C#, thought that's not important, if I can get it right on the sql side, then I should be cool.

Update: I was able to use Brian's suggestion, and it is working great. I'd like to work on some optimization, but the pages are coming up in 4 to 5 seconds rather than a minute, and my paging control was able to integrate in very well with my new stored procs.

Something like this should work: From Frans Bouma's Blog

SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT a.*, rownum r__
    FROM
    (
        SELECT * FROM ORDERS WHERE CustomerID LIKE 'A%'
        ORDER BY OrderDate DESC, ShippingDate DESC
    ) a
    WHERE rownum < ((pageNumber * pageSize) + 1 )
)
WHERE r__ >= (((pageNumber-1) * pageSize) + 1)

Ask Tom on pagination and very, very useful analytic functions.

This is excerpt from that page:

select * from (
    select /*+ first_rows(25) */
     object_id,object_name,
     row_number() over
    (order by object_id) rn
    from all_objects
)
where rn between :n and :m
order by rn;

In my project I used Oracle 12c and java. The paging code looks like this:

 public public List<Map<String, Object>> getAllProductOfferWithPagination(int pageNo, int pageElementSize, Long productOfferId, String productOfferName) {
    try {

        if(pageNo==1){
            //do nothing
        } else{
            pageNo=(pageNo-1)*pageElementSize+1;
        }
        System.out.println("algo pageNo: " + pageNo +"  pageElementSize: "+ pageElementSize+"  productOfferId: "+ productOfferId+"  productOfferName: "+ productOfferName);

        String sql = "SELECT * FROM ( SELECT * FROM product_offer po WHERE po.deleted=0 AND (po.product_offer_id=? OR po.product_offer_name LIKE ? )" +
             " ORDER BY po.PRODUCT_OFFER_ID asc) foo OFFSET ? ROWS FETCH NEXT ? ROWS ONLY ";

       return jdbcTemplate.queryForList(sql,new Object[] {productOfferId,"%"+productOfferName+"%",pageNo-1, pageElementSize});

    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e);
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
