<P>The RDB DAS provides a mechanism for working with the result of large queries one chunk (page) at a time. This capability is modeled after the behavior of web search engines. For example, if I Google &quot;RDB DAS&quot; I am presented with a page representing the first ten references. I am also told that there were close to 500,000 matches and I am given the opportunity to go to the next page or directly to pages two through ten. After moving from the first page I am also provided the opportunity to move back to some previous page.</P>

<P>The DAS &quot;Pager&quot; is a wrapper around a provided read command and provides the APIs for paging.  Here is the Pager interface:</P>
<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
<SPAN class="code-keyword">public</SPAN> <SPAN class="code-keyword">interface</SPAN> Pager {

    /**
     * Get the next page of data
     */
    DataObject next();

    /**
     * Get the page prior to the last page returned
     */
    DataObject previous();

    /**
     * Return a specific identified page.
     */
    DataObject getPage(<SPAN class="code-object">int</SPAN> page);

}
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>
<P>A Pager is instantiated on a given read Command and the constructor is used to specify the desired page size (number of database rows per page). The following example illustrates construction and use of a pager: </P>
<DIV class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="codeContent panelContent">
<PRE class="code-java">
DAS das = DAS.FACTORY.createDAS(getConnection());
   <SPAN class="code-comment">// Build command to read all customers
</SPAN>   Command custCommand = das.createCommand(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;select * from CUSTOMER order by ID&quot;</SPAN>);

   <SPAN class="code-comment">// Create a pager with the command
</SPAN>   Pager pager = <SPAN class="code-keyword">new</SPAN> PagerImpl(custCommand, 2);

   <SPAN class="code-comment">// Get and work with first page
</SPAN>   DataObject root = pager.next();
   DataObject customer1 = root.getDataObject(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;CUSTOMER[1]&quot;</SPAN>);
   DataObject customer2 = root.getDataObject(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;CUSTOMER[2]&quot;</SPAN>);

   <SPAN class="code-comment">// Get and work with the second page
</SPAN>   root = pager.next();
   customer1 = root.getDataObject(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;CUSTOMER[1]&quot;</SPAN>);
   customer2 = root.getDataObject(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;CUSTOMER[2]&quot;</SPAN>);

   <SPAN class="code-comment">// First page again
</SPAN>   root = pager.previous();
   customer1 = root.getDataObject(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;CUSTOMER[1]&quot;</SPAN>);
   customer2 = root.getDataObject(<SPAN class="code-quote">&quot;CUSTOMER[2]&quot;</SPAN>);
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>
<P>The current Pager specification and implementation are very preliminary and will likely change in significant ways&#33; For instance, the pager is intended to work in completely disconnected scenarios so there should be no connection context maintained between invocations of the pager. Currently the Pager references a Command that, in turn, references a connection (oops&#33;). Some work must be done to make the pager lightweight as it will likely be stored in session.</P>

<P>We probably should also create a Factory rather than using the impl constructor. </P>
