Using LIMIT and OFFSET in PostgreSQL: Best Practices, Performance Impacts, and Alternatives

LIMIT caps returned rows; OFFSET skips rows in the query result. SQL does not require ORDER BY syntactically, but repeatable page boundaries need a unique ordering. For an API, choose between page-number navigation and continuation from the last key; neither strategy alone provides a snapshot. Measure deeper pages before setting a performance cutoff.
