Erik Rodgers Which is the preferred method of pagination. ApexPages.StandardSetController or SOQL using Offset?
I'm looking into adding pagination capabilities to a couple of our visualforce pages and was wonder which is the preferred methods for accomplishing pagination. I've seen ApexPages.StandardSetController used as well as a method using SOQL offset. Which is best or good / bad of each? Thanks.
It's all about how you want to control the user experience and leverage the tools VF gives you. If you want VF to control the pagination - go with the StandardSetController. If you want to have more control, pass only the records you want to be rendered via OFFSET.
Heck, you could pass everything back via a standard or custom controller and use jQuery Datatables to handle all pagination client-side if you want.
Just my two cents. =)
