Re: Select count with offset returns nothing.

Hi,

I think problem is in OFFSET 15

It means return rows after row 15... because of SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM batches LIMIT 15 returns 1 row when you add OFFSET 15 - it returns
nothing... because of there is no more than 15 rows...

I am not sure u can do something else then to change library to remove
OFFSET in SELECT COUNT(*)

Kind Regrads,
