> you'll see no benefit if you were paginating PKs in the first place, but most app developers are paginating actual records, right? You are unclear on this point, but I don't really see how it addresses any of parent's (grogers) counterpoints. Maybe be a critical concept for you to reconsider! (I suspect application developers mainly use OFFSET/LIMIT because it's simple to implement and readily availability in SQL, rather than the optimal way for the user to accomplish their task.)
