| description | Step 4 in the execution pipeline for many bulk read endpoints. |
|---|
Many bulk read endpoints support an optional slicing (skip + limit) parameter pair, using which results can be paged.
The skip attribute only takes effect if the limit attribute is present and has a non-zero value. This is a peculiarity of how the limit clause works in AQL.
For grouped results, slicing is applied on the groups themselves.
{% hint style="info" %} Slicing clauses are applied within the DB query that is used to fetch intermediate results. {% endhint %}
