No, Oracle isn't off limits.

Problem with paging in Oracle is this: if you want to page the output of
a query, you have to execute it over and over again and discard all except
the few rows. That's wasteful and slow. Trick to do that would be to
open a temporary file and map it to memory as an array. My question is: is
there a way to do mmap in PHP5? Thanks to anyone who might help me with an
answer.
