Question

We are using jquery for pagination. We are pulling millions of records from the database and then th jquery does the pagination on the front end. that is a very slow process. Can someone advice us of a solution in php and jquery where we pull 50 records at a time?
Thanks

Yes, you should use ajax instead of retrieving the whole thing, try this:

$.get("path/to/page.php", { param1: "myParam1", page: "pagenumber" },
   function(data){
   $('#datacontainer').html(data);
});

For further information on the $.get function read this: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/
