Efficient Pagination and Sorting in Database Systems

The text discusses the concept of pagination for database objects, highlighting the use of LIMIT and OFFSET in SQL for retrieving manageable subsets of data. It also explores the limitations of this method and introduces key-based pagination as a more efficient alternative. Additionally, it addresses the issue of sorting results based on something other than the primary key and proposes the use of concatenated values and indices on expressions to achieve this. The text provides insights into the challenges and solutions for implementing efficient pagination in database systems.
