Result set output criteria

Abstract:

A structured query language (SQL) query is configured to present a selected portion of a result set to a user interface. The selected portion of the result set can be based on an offset criteria appended to the SQL query. The offset criteria determines a location of a first presented instance of the selected portion of the result set. The offset criteria is configured to determine the location of the first presented instance of the selected portion of the result set independent of a number of instances appearing between a first instance of the result set and the first presented instance of the selected portion of the result set.
