Hi all.
Please accept my apologies for asking a couple of dumb questions but in my defence I'm a newbie to ExtJS and all that it provides.
I have been asked to investigate frameworks as a sub project and I am presently looking at ExtJS, Zend and a couple of others and I have a quick question regarding tables and data.
We are an ASP and our website has a mySQL back end. The tables within Ext look great and I love the sorting etc. however our tables have many 000's of rows and I was wondering about pagination. How does the Ext table / pagination communicate to the back end? When the user clicks next page or selects a page does it go off to the server and request another dataset - i.e. utilising something like the mySQL LIMIT functionality? or does the data conduit retrieve all items that match a query and then the pagination object handle the slicing and dicing.
I hope this makes sense.
Jon
