Method and system for displaying MES records in a grid on an MES client screen

摘要

MES records are displayed in a grid in a MES client screen. The MES records to be displayed are a set of records resulting from a query to a database by the MES client, and the record set is displayed via a number of grid pages. Each grid page displays a corresponding record subset and each grid page can be selected for display on the screen by selecting given grid pager navigation commands. First, the MES client queries the database to retrieve a first subset of MES records. The first retrieved MES record subset is displayed while the database is queried to count the exact total count of records of the record set to obtain a total exact record count value. Then the resulting total value is displayed on the screen, and grid pager navigation commands are displayed, enabling user selection for another grid page of another corresponding record subset.
