Resolving Overlapping Data Sets in Oracle Pagination Queries
Query with Offset Returns Overlapping Data Sets When implementing pagination, it’s common to fetch a certain number of rows and then use an offset to retrieve the next batch of rows. However, in this scenario, using Oracle as the database management system, we encounter an unexpected behavior that leads to overlapping data sets. The Problem Statement Our goal is to retrieve a specific range of records from a table, say “APPR”, which has a primary key consisting of two fields: “Approver” and several other composite columns.
