public class LargeSelect<T> extends Object implements Runnable, Serializable
This class can be used to retrieve a large result set from a database query. The query is started and then rows are returned a page at a time. The LargeSelect is meant to be placed into the Session or User.Temp, so that it can be used in response to several related requests. Note that in order to use LargeSelect you need to be willing to accept the fact that the result set may become inconsistent with the database if updates are processed subsequent to the queries being executed. Specifying a memory page limit of 1 will give you a consistent view of the records but the totals may not be accurate and the performance will be terrible. In most cases the potential for inconsistencies data should not cause any serious problems and performance should be pretty good (but read on for further warnings).

The idea here is that the full query result would consume too much memory and if displayed to a user the page would be too long to be useful. Rather than loading the full result set into memory, a window of data (the memory limit) is loaded and retrieved a page at a time. If a request occurs for data that falls outside the currently loaded window of data then a new query is executed to fetch the required data. Performance is optimized by starting a thread to execute the database query and fetch the results. This will perform best when paging forwards through the data, but a minor optimization where the window is moved backwards by two rather than one page is included for when a user pages past the beginning of the window.

As the query is performed in in steps, it is often the case that the total number of records and pages of data is unknown. LargeSelect provides various methods for indicating how many records and pages it is currently aware of and for presenting this information to users.

LargeSelect utilizes the Criteria methods setOffset() and setLimit() to limit the amount of data retrieved from the database - these values are either passed through to the DBMS when supported (efficient with the caveat below) or handled by the Torque API when it is not (not so efficient).

As LargeSelect must re-execute the query each time the user pages out of the window of loaded data, you should consider the impact of non-index sort orderings and other criteria that will require the DBMS to execute the entire query before filtering down to the offset and limit either internally or via Torque.

The memory limit defaults to 5 times the page size you specify, but alternative constructors and the class method setMemoryPageLimit() allow you to override this for a specific instance of LargeSelect or future instances respectively.

Typically you will create a LargeSelect using your Criteria (perhaps created from the results of a search parameter page), page size, memory page limit, return class name (for which you may have defined a business object class before hand) and peer class and place this in user.Temp thus:

     data.getUser().setTemp("someName", largeSelect);
 

In your template you will then use something along the lines of:

    #set($largeSelect = $data.User.getTemp("someName"))
    #set($searchop = $data.Parameters.getString("searchop"))
    #if($searchop.equals("prev"))
      #set($recs = $largeSelect.PreviousResults)
    #else
      #if($searchop.equals("goto"))
        #set($recs = $largeSelect.getPage($data.Parameters.getInt("page", 1)))
      #else
        #set($recs = $largeSelect.NextResults)
      #end
    #end
 

...to move through the records. LargeSelect implements a number of convenience methods that make it easy to add all of the necessary bells and whistles to your template.
