Bug #70970 for DBIx-SearchBuilder: Fwd: Patch for DBIx::SearchBuilder - Support for limits in Sybase

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rupp, Jean-Pierre <jean-pierre.rupp@jpmchase.com> Date: 2011/9/14 Subject: Patch for DBIx::SearchBuilder - Support for limits in Sybase To: "Ruslan.Zakirov@gmail.com" <Ruslan.Zakirov@gmail.com> Hello Руслан, I’ve modified your code for DBIx::SearchBuilder, in order to make ApplyLimits work in Sybase databases. This fix may also work for MSSQL as well. Support is partial, since Sybase doesn’t allow for specifying lower boundaries with its TOP clause. This said, what the code does is that whenever limits are used, it will slap a TOP clause just after SELECT in the query. This makes it so that Sybase will only return up to that many records. Then there’s a soft low boundary in the SearchBuilder object that will behave as though records before it were not retrieved (but they were). Although this will not offer much of a performance boost when retrieving records 950.000 to 975.000 in a 1.000.000 record table, performance will improve a lot for the first pages, which are the ones most commonly used in, say, web applications. On top of this, it makes for better RTT compatibility. I submit this patch to you so you can put it in the official DBIx::SearchBuilder distribution as you please. Greetings.
