Question

I am building a symfony 1.4 project with an MS SQL backend. I built a backend using the admin generator but when I attempt to load an admin module I am getting this error:

OFFSET cannot be used in MS SQL without ORDER BY due to emulation reasons

How do I resolve this?

The symfony application is running on Debian squeeze under Apache 2.2.

In my case the error disappeared by setting the pager size explicit:

list:
    max_per_page: 20

Edit: That wasn’t the solution, I just had some sorting paramters in the session which solved the problem temporarily.

The new solution is to define a defalut sorting. I did it by overriding the index action:

class organisationActions extends autoOrganisationActions
{
  public function executeIndex(sfWebRequest $request)
  {
    // sorting
    if ($request->getParameter('sort', 'created_at') && $this->isValidSortColumn($request->getParameter('sort', 'created_at')))
    {
      $this->setSort(array($request->getParameter('sort', 'created_at'), $request->getParameter('sort_type')));
    }

    // pager
    if ($request->getParameter('page'))
    {
      $this->setPage($request->getParameter('page'));
    }

    $this->pager = $this->getPager();
    $this->sort = $this->getSort();
  }
}

$request->getParameter(‘sort’, ‘created_at’)

instead of

$request->getParameter(‘sort’)
