I have PHP/PostgreSQL application were i got a search page with some items to search, am building the search query on server side. I need to display a paginated search and for this i need to get the total count of lines matching the search before OFFSET/LIMITing my page, am i obliged to repeat the query twice ??? first to get the total count, second to get my page. it's very heavy Any one's suggesting better doing ?
Use a cursor.
Cursors won't help - they don't store the info about how many results the query would fetch (I asked this question a few months ago on one of the postgres lists). -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
