Goal: ensure that paginated queries on large tables remain performant by preventing the OFFSET value from growing so large that the database must scan and skip excessive rows.
Constraint: the exact threshold at which OFFSET‑based pagination becomes costly depends on table size, indexing, and acceptable latency, which may vary across workloads.
- What maximum OFFSET value should be enforced to keep query latency below a target threshold for a given table size and indexed primary key?
- Should this limit be a static row count or a dynamic fraction (e.g., 5 % of total rows) that adapts as the table grows?
- How can users configure SQLite.jl to automatically reject or rewrite queries that exceed the chosen OFFSET limit without manually editing the SQL string?
