Search engine simulation...

I'm making a php database application. The database tables have many rows and in a webpage i have to display a big number of that rows, but the browser display the information so slow or the browser chash. So i was thinking to make a search engine simulation or webmail simulation, that display the rows from 10 x 10 (rows) or N x N. I was thinking to add a new correlative column to the database table, and use it, but in this case, i have to display the rows in the add order. I want to display the rows in alphabetic or other order. I have 2 versions of the application, in oracle and mysql. In the oracle version i find a solution with a query, buy only run in oracle 8i because older version don't have some features i used. I tried to put all the data in a php array and display n x n, but i don't know how efficiently it is. Do you know a query solution (oracle or mysql) or a php efficiently solution for this problem?
