  24 /**
  25  * IndexPager is an efficient pager which uses a (roughly unique) index in the
  26  * data set to implement paging, rather than a "LIMIT offset,limit" clause.
  27  * In MySQL, such a limit/offset clause requires counting through the
  28  * specified number of offset rows to find the desired data, which can be
  29  * expensive for large offsets.
  30  *
  31  * ReverseChronologicalPager is a child class of the abstract IndexPager, and
  32  * contains  some formatting and display code which is specific to the use of
  33  * timestamps as  indexes. Here is a synopsis of its operation:
  34  *
  35  *    * The query is specified by the offset, limit and direction (dir)
  36  *      parameters, in addition to any subclass-specific parameters.
  37  *    * The offset is the non-inclusive start of the DB query. A row with an
  38  *      index value equal to the offset will never be shown.
  39  *    * The query may either be done backwards, where the rows are returned by
  40  *      the database in the opposite order to which they are displayed to the
  41  *      user, or forwards. This is specified by the "dir" parameter, dir=prev
  42  *      means backwards, anything else means forwards. The offset value
  43  *      specifies the start of the database result set, which may be either
  44  *      the start or end of the displayed data set. This allows "previous"
  45  *      links to be implemented without knowledge of the index value at the
  46  *      start of the previous page.
  47  *    * An additional row beyond the user-specified limit is always requested.
  48  *      This allows us to tell whether we should display a "next" link in the
  49  *      case of forwards mode, or a "previous" link in the case of backwards
  50  *      mode. Determining whether to display the other link (the one for the
  51  *      page before the start of the database result set) can be done
  52  *      heuristically by examining the offset.
  53  *
  54  *    * An empty offset indicates that the offset condition should be omitted
  55  *      from the query. This naturally produces either the first page or the
  56  *      last page depending on the dir parameter.
  57  *
  58  *  Subclassing the pager to implement concrete functionality should be fairly
  59  *  simple, please see the examples in HistoryAction.php and
  60  *  SpecialBlockList.php. You just need to override formatRow(),
  61  *  getQueryInfo() and getIndexField(). Don't forget to call the parent
  62  *  constructor if you override it.
