I think this is a common task, but I’m not sure how to do it.
I want to run a query that can return many records, display them 10 at a time, and be able to go forward/backward in the list. I’m not concerned about the list changing after the initial query.
I’m accessing this via a php web page. I’m thinking that maybe the best way to do this, other than re-running the query each time, is to put the results into a temporary table. I think this will work if I never call “disconnect” from the php script. My question is, when does my Postgres session end? Is there a timeout?
Of course, if this is a really bad way to do this, I’m willing to learn a better way!
Thanks! |
