This allows an application to > retrieve only some rows of an otherwise larger result set, similar to > the popular LIMIT clauses use in some databases. > Up till now, in Derby (and SQL) we have had to use the ROW_NUMBER() > function in a nested subquery to achieve the effect of the first clause>, cf. DERBY-2998, a method which is rather more indirect > and still not efficient (DERBY-3505), and primarily intended for OLAP > functionality, perhaps. > There has been no direct way to achieve the effect of the offset clause> via SQL. > Syntax (cf. SQL 2008, section 7.13): > ::= OFFSET {ROW | ROWS} > ::= FETCH {FIRST | NEXT} [] {ROW | ROWS} ONLY > where is an integer. The two clauses syntactically follow the ORDER BY > clause in the grammar. > Note that both ORDER BY and the new clauses above are allowed also in > subqueries in the new version of the SQL standard (section 7.13). I > only propose to include this at the top level in DERBY for now. (ORDER > BY is presently also not allowed in subqueries in Derby since SQL > didn't allow for this until SQL 2008 either). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
