ExtJs4 - Infinite Scrolling - How to implement on the server side? - extjs4

I'm really stuck at this. I have set up an endpoint that returns an array of data to my JSON RPC call made from the store. I'm expecting the grid to show only 30 records initially and then add more as I go on scrolling. I see that the pageSize only decides how much AJAX calls to make for the data. Meaning, if my data returned has 100 records, setting the pageSize to 20 makes 5 calls. But, all the 100 records are returned in every call. Besides, my infinite scroll doesn't work. Do I need to handle anything on the server side as well for making only the 30 records required and not all?

you need to interpret the start limit query parameters on the server side
so on initial call would be /?start=0&limit=20 so your server will return record 0-20.
if you begin to scroll the next request will be /?start=20&limit=40 and you will return record 20-40.
also notice the leadingBufferZone that is the record count that gets loaded into the non visibly area to allow smooth scrolling.

Apigee Integration: How to use listEntitiesPageSize parameter in conjunction with the listEntitiesPageToken parameter o navigate through the pages

Good day everyone,
we are trying to have through the use of the integrations of the Apigee service of google all the rows in a bigquery table that have a certain value in a field.
this operation is quite easy to do, but when we have more than 200 lines as a result, problems arise.
The problem is that using the integration to connect to BigQuery I am not returning any listEntitiesPageToken value and not even any listEntitiesNextPageToken value
so i can't figure out how i can go about navigating the result pages
Has anyone had the same problem? What do you suggest?
In the tutorial: "https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/integration/connectors-task#configure-the-connectors-task" is write : "For example, if you are expecting 1000 records in your result set, you can set the listEntitiesPageSize to 100. So when the Connectors task runs for the first time, it returns the first 100 records, the next 100 records in the second run and so on."
And there is a tip: "Use the listEntitiesPageSize parameter in conjunction with the listEntitiesPageToken parameter to navigate through the pages."
I used the tutorial to understand how to use the task for loop and I understood that I should create a "subintegration" which must be called by a "main integration" for each element present in a list / array.
But what what can i do since these tokens are empty?

Custom Pagination in datatable

I have a web application in which I get data from my database and show in a datatable. I am facing an issue doing this as the data that I am fetching has too many rows(200 000). So when I query something like select * from table_name;
my application gets stuck.
Is there a way to handle this problem with JavaScript?
I tried pagination but I cannot figure how would i do that as datatable creates pagination for already rendered data?
Is there a way through which I can run my query through pagination at
the backend?
I have come across the same problem when working with mongodb and angularjs. I used server side paging. Since you have huge number of records, You can try using the same approach.
Assuming a case that you are displaying 25 records in one page.
Backend:
Get the total count of the records using COUNT query.
select * from table_name LIMIT 25 OFFSET
${req.query.pageNumber*25} to query limited records based on the page number;
Frontend:
Instead of using datatable, display the data in HTML table it self.
Define buttons for next page and previous page.
Define global variable in the controller/js file for pageNumber.
Increment pageNumber by 1 when next page button is clicked and
decrement that by 1 when prev button is pressed.
use result from COUNT query to put upper limit to pageNumber
variable.(if 200 records are there limit will be 200/25=8).
So basically select * from table_name LIMIT 25 OFFSET
${req.query.pageNumber*25} will limit the number of records to 25. when req.query.pageNumber=1, it will offset first 25records and sends next 25 records. similarly if req.query.pageNumber=2, it will offset first 2*25 records and sends 51-75 records.
There are two ways to handle.
First way - Handling paging in client side
Get all data from database and apply custom paging.
Second way - Handling paging in server side
Every time you want to call in database and get records according to pagesize.
You can use LIMIT and OFFSET constraints for pagination in MySQL. I understand that at a time 2 lacs data makes performance slower. But as you mention that you have to use JS for that. So make it clear that if you wants js as frontend then it is not going to help you. But as you mention that you have a web application, If that application is on Node(as server) then I can suggest you the way, which can help you a lot.
use 2 variables, named var_pageNo and var_limit. Now use the row query of mysql as
select * form <tbl_name> LIMIT var_limit OFFSET (var_pageNo * var_limit);
Do code according to this query. Replace the variable with your desire values. This will make your performance faster, and will fetch the data as per your specified limit.
hope this will helpful.

jQuery DataTable - How to do pagination with server-side processing?

I want to use DataTables to show data to a user.
I read the document about "Server-side processing", but
I don't know PHP, so I can't figure out what has happened.
How client-side code sends the data to server-side script?
And how to let server-side script know how many records should be returned?
Please refer the Server-side processing chapter in the DataTables manual. The length parameter determines how many records are requested and start parameter determines first record index (zero-based).
Below is an excerpt from the manual:
start
Paging first record indicator. This is the start point in the current
data set (0 index based - i.e. 0 is the first record).
length
Number of records that the table can display in the current draw. It
is expected that the number of records returned will be equal to this
number, unless the server has fewer records to return. Note that this
can be -1 to indicate that all records should be returned (although
that negates any benefits of server-side processing!)

Determining query's progress (Oracle PL/SQL)

I am a developer on a web app that uses an Oracle database. However, often the UI will trigger database operations that take a while to process. As a result, the client would like a progress bar when these situations occur.
I recently discovered that I can query V$SESSION_LONGOPS from a second connection, and this is great, but it only works on operations that take longer than 6 seconds. This means that I can't update the progress bar in the UI until 6 seconds has passed.
I've done research on wait times in V$SESSION but as far as I've seen, that doesn't include the waiting for the query.
Is there a way to get the progress of the currently running query of a session? Or should I just hide the progress bar until 6 seconds has passed?
Are these operations Pl/SQL calls or just long-running SQL?
With PL/SQL operations we can write messages with SET_SESSION_LONGOPS() in the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package. We can monitor these messages in V$SESSION_LONGOPS. Find out more.
For this to work you need to be able to quantify the operation in units of work. These must be iterations of something concrete, and numeric not time. So if the operation is insert 10000 rows you could split that up into 10 batches. The totalwork parameter is the number of batches (i.e. 10) and you call SET_SESSION_LONGOPS() after every 1000 rows to increment the sofar parameter. This will allow you to render a thermometer of ten blocks.
These messages are session-based but there's no automatic way of distinguishing the current message from previous messages from the same session & SID. However if you assign a UID to the context parameter you can then use that value to filter the view.
This won't work for a single long running query, because there's no way for us to divide it into chunks.
i found this very usefull
dbms_session.set_module("MY Program" , "Kicking off ... ")
..
dbms_session.set_action("Extracting data ... ")
..
dbms_session.set_action("Transforming data ... ")
..
you can monitor the progress using
select module , action from v$session where sid = :yoursessionid
I've done quite a lot of web development with Oracle over the years and found that most users prefer an indeterminate progress bar, than a determinate bar that is inaccurate (a la pretty much any of Microsoft's progress bars which annoy me no end), and unfortunately there is no infallible way of accurately determining query progress.
Whilst your research into the long ops capability is admirable and would definitely help to make the progress of the database query more reliable, it can't take into account the myriad of other variables that may/will affect the web operation's transactional progress (network load, database load, application server load, client-side data parsing, the user clicking on a submit button 1,000 times, etc and so on).
I'd stick to the indeterminate progress method using Javascript callbacks. It's much easier to implement and it will manage your user's expectations as appropriate.
Using V$_SESSION_LONGOPS requires to set TIMED_STATISTICS=true or SQL_TRACE=true. Your database schema must be granted the ALTER SESSION system privilege to do so.
I once tried using V$_SESSION_LONGOPS with a complex and long running query. But it turned up that V$_SESSION_LONGOPS may show the progress of parts of the query like full table scans, join operations, and the like.

What you can do is just to show the user "the query is still running". I implemented a <DIV> nested into a <TD> that gets longer with every status request sent by the browser. Status requests are initiated by window.SetTimeout (every 3 seconds) and are AJAX calls to a server-side procedure. The status report returned by the server-side procedure simply says "we are still running". The progress bar's width (i.e. the <DIV>'s width) increments by 5% of the <TD>s width every time and is reset to 5% after showing 100%.
For long running queries you might track the time they took in a separate table, possibly with individual entries for varying where clauses. You could use this to display the average time plus the time that just elapsed in the client-side dialog.
If you have a long running PL/SQL procedure or the like on the server side doing several steps, try this:
create a table for status messages
use a unique key for any process the user starts. Suggestion: client side's javascript date in milliseconds + session ID.
in case the long running procedure is to be started by a link in a browser window, create a job using DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT to run the procedure instead of running the procedure directly
write a short procedure that updates the status table, using PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION. This pragma allows you to commit updates to the status table without committing your main procedure's updates. Each major step of your main procedure should have an entry of its own in this status table.
write a procedure to query the status table to be called by the browser
write a procedure that is called by an AJAX call if the use clicks "Cancel" or closes the window
write a procedure that is called by the main procedure after completion of each step: it queries the status table and raises an exception with an number in the 20,000s if the cancel flag was set or the browser did not query the status for, say, 60 seconds. In the main procedure's exception handler look for this error, do a rollback, and update the status table.

logic:equal slow the performance for showing 10000 records

I am having 10000 records
in jsp page 32 columns
29 colums i am using and it is slowing the process any other way
Whether slows down because it is checking for every row.
user dont want pagination he needs to show all 10000 not 1000 records
I have a datalist which iterate , within the iterate loop i gave the logic:equal condition
..................................
for changing the bgcolor only i am using the logic:notequal
Any Idea
Does he can read or print them all. What's a wasting of server/client resource and bandwidth!
But in helpless case, you can you javascript to change color to redistribute server processing. Or use good load strategy, for example: not all at once but delay loading (use ajax I assume), load part in view first,..
