Pagination in Spring Data JPA (limit and offset)

Question

I want the user to be able to specify the limit (the size of the amount returned) and offset (the first record returned / index returned) in my query method.

Here a

Answer 1

You probably can't to this with spring data jpa. If the offset is very small, you might just remove the top X statements from the query after retrieval.

Otherwise, you could define the page size to be the offset and start at page+1.

Answer 2

Suppose you are filtering and soring and paging at same time Below @Query will help you

    @Query(value = "SELECT * FROM table  WHERE firstname= ?1  or lastname= ?2 or age= ?3 or city= ?4 or "
        + " ORDER BY date DESC OFFSET ?8 ROWS FETCH NEXT ?9 ROWS ONLY" , nativeQuery = true)
List<JobVacancy> filterJobVacancyByParams(final String firstname, final String lastname,
        final String age, final float city,int offset, int limit);

Answer 3

Below code should do it. I am using in my own project and tested for most cases.

usage:

   Pageable pageable = new OffsetBasedPageRequest(offset, limit);
   return this.dataServices.findAllInclusive(pageable);

and the source code:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.EqualsBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.HashCodeBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ToStringBuilder;
import org.springframework.data.domain.AbstractPageRequest;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class OffsetBasedPageRequest implements Pageable, Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -25822477129613575L;

    private int limit;
    private int offset;
    private final Sort sort;

    public OffsetBasedPageRequest(int offset, int limit, Sort sort) {
        if (offset < 0) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Offset index must not be less than zero!");
        }

        if (limit < 1) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Limit must not be less than one!");
        }
        this.limit = limit;
        this.offset = offset;
        this.sort = sort;
    }

    /**

    }

    @Override

        return limit;

    @Override

        return offset;

    @Override

        if (this == o) return true;

        if (!(o instanceof OffsetBasedPageRequest)) return false;

        OffsetBasedPageRequest that = (OffsetBasedPageRequest) o;

        return new EqualsBuilder()
                .append(limit, that.limit)
                .append(offset, that.offset)
                .append(sort, that.sort)

                .append("sort", sort)

}

Answer 4

Here you go:

public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, Integer> {

    @Query(value="SELECT e FROM Employee e WHERE e.name LIKE ?1 ORDER BY e.id offset ?2 limit ?3", nativeQuery = true)
    public List<Employee> findByNameAndMore(String name, int offset, int limit);
}

Answer 5

Maybe the answer is kind of late, but I thought about the same thing. Compute the current page based on offset and limit. Well, it is not exactly the same because it "assumes" that the offset is a multiple of the limit, but maybe your application is suitable for this.

@Override
public List<Employee> findByName(String name, int offset, int limit) {
    // limit != 0 ;)
    int page = offset / limit;
    return repository.findByName(name, new PageRequest(page, limit));
}

I would suggest a change of the architecture. Change your controller or whatever calls the service to initially give you page and limit if possible.

Answer 6

Try that:

public interface ContactRepository extends JpaRepository<Contact, Long> 
{
    @Query(value = "Select c.* from contacts c where c.username is not null order by c.id asc limit ?1,  ?2 ", nativeQuery = true)         
    List<Contact> findContacts(int offset, int limit);        
}
