Problem with Server Side Processing and Paging
Problem with Server Side Processing and Paging

One again I'm having an issue with my server side processing that i hope you can shed some light on. I've managed to get my DataTable to talk to the server and successfully bring back the rows I'm looking for. The issue now is that the paging of the data is not working. The first ten of around 65,000 rows are being displayed but when clicking the next button expecting the next ten the DataTable displays the message No matching records found despite there being plenty of rows in the database.

I hope the information I've provided Helps shed some light one where I might be going wrong.

You already posted about this, and you got answers. Firstly, here:
http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/7127/secho-error-from-server-processing-php.
and secondly when I pointed that you are still using sEcho when you had already been told it should not be used with server-side processing. I suggest you take the time to digest what you have already been told.
Ok its all fixed. I feel a bit of a fool for it but I looked at my Sql Profiler to see what queries were running on the database.
Here was the query:
As you can see its looking for PK in another query that doesn't contain PK so the returned result will always be a Null value.
A simple change to include the PK in the table and the values being queried and the paging function is working.
@Tangerine
I made another post as this is regarding the paging of DataTables and not the actual data retrieval problem I was having. While you say sEcho isn't required the functionality I'm expecting from this server side script is working well from the simple change I made and posted top the other thread.
