Hi,
Use the Offset and Limit in the SQL query.
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/queries-limit.html
For example:
SELECT select_list FROM table_expression WHERE condition
Let's supose that this query returnes normaly 30000 elements.
SELECT select_list FROM table_expression WHERE condition LIMIT 50 OFFSET 10000
This query will return 50 elements starting with the 10000 elements... so
the elemenst from 10000 to 10050.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Andy.
