SQL

Implement Data Pagination with OFFSET and FETCH NEXT

Discover how to implement efficient data pagination in SQL using `OFFSET` and `FETCH NEXT` (or `LIMIT`), crucial for displaying large datasets in manageable chunks.

SELECT
    order_id,
    customer_id,
    order_date,
    total_amount
FROM
    orders
ORDER BY
    order_date DESC, order_id DESC
OFFSET 10 ROWS
FETCH NEXT 5 ROWS ONLY;

How it works: This query demonstrates how to paginate results from the `orders` table. It orders the results consistently (crucial for pagination), then skips the first 10 rows using `OFFSET` and retrieves only the next 5 rows using `FETCH NEXT`. This effectively fetches the third page of results, assuming 5 items per page, making large datasets manageable for display.
