Supabase Database Invalid row count in result offset clause.

The OFFSET clause in the query is incorrectly specified.

Understanding Supabase Database

Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service that provides developers with a suite of tools to build applications quickly. It offers a PostgreSQL database, authentication, storage, and real-time subscriptions, making it a powerful choice for modern web and mobile applications.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with Supabase Database, you might encounter an error with the code 2201W. This error typically manifests as an invalid row count in the result offset clause, disrupting the execution of your SQL queries.

What You Might See

Developers often observe this issue when attempting to paginate results using the OFFSET clause in SQL queries. The error message might look something like this:

ERROR: 2201W: Invalid row count in result offset clause

Explaining the Issue

The error code 2201W indicates a problem with the OFFSET clause in your SQL query. The OFFSET clause is used to skip a specified number of rows before starting to return rows from the query. This is particularly useful for pagination.

Common Causes

  • Using a negative number in the OFFSET clause.
  • Specifying a non-integer value for OFFSET.
  • Incorrect syntax in the SQL query.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the 2201W error, follow these steps:

1. Check Your OFFSET Value

Ensure that the OFFSET value is a non-negative integer. For example, if your query is:

SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id OFFSET -5;

Change it to:

SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id OFFSET 5;

2. Validate the SQL Syntax

Double-check the syntax of your SQL query. Ensure that the OFFSET clause is correctly placed and follows the ORDER BY clause. A valid query should look like this:

SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id LIMIT 10 OFFSET 5;

3. Use Integer Values

Ensure that the OFFSET value is an integer. If you're dynamically generating this value, verify that the variable is correctly cast to an integer.
