Why does OFFSET pagination show duplicate or missing rows during updates?
KitForma editorial guide. OFFSET addresses positions in the current ordered result. Insertions or deletions before that position shift later pages.
Step-by-step guidance
OFFSET addresses positions in the current ordered result. Insertions or deletions before that position shift later pages.
For a stable forward feed, use keyset pagination with a deterministic pair such as
(created_at, id), and request rows after the last pair seen. Test equal timestamps and an insertion between page requests. Keep the filter and ordering identical across pages, and encode cursors safely. Keyset pagination does not provide a historical snapshot by itself and does not jump naturally to arbitrary page numbers. Choose snapshot isolation or an export job when a consistent full dataset is required.Sources and verification
