QuerySkip Property

The number of entries to skip when querying a service.

Syntax

 odata.getQuerySkip([callback])
 odata.setQuerySkip( querySkip, [callback])

Default Value

""


Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getQuerySkip([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setQuerySkip([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property allows you to specify the number of entries to skip (from the top of the list) when calling QueryService. Therefore when this property set, only the remaining entries (starting with entry N+1) will be returned. The specified value should not be a value less than 0.

By default, the service you are querying will sort the entries using a scheme selected by the OData service you are querying. However you can use QueryOrderBy to specify how the entries should be sorted prior to skipping the top N items.

This property can be used in conjunction with QueryOrderBy and QueryTop to select specific entries. For example, if you wanted to select the third and fourth highest rated item you would set QueryOrderBy to "Rating desc" (to order the items by Rating from highest to lowest), set QuerySkip to "2" (to skip the first and second items), and finally set QueryTop to "2" (to only return the third and fourth items).

This property is not available at design time.
