Speed with offset clause

Hi again all,


My queries are now optimised.  They all use the indexes like they
should.

However, there's still a slight problem when I issue the "offset"
clause.


We have a table that contains 600.000 records

We display them by 25 in the webpage.

So, when I want the last page, which is: 600k / 25 = page 24000 - 1 =
23999, I issue the offset of 23999 * 25

This take a long time to run, about 5-10 seconds whereas offset below
100 take less than a second.


Can I speed this up ?



Met vriendelijke groeten,

Bien à vous,

Kind regards,
