How does a!QueryEntity works?
I am fetching data from a table through a!queryEntity. Table has n number of columns from which only one can have unique data (Primary Key Column). Others can have duplicate data.
I tried to fetch data in batchSize of 5. The problem is, for a column "Name", if a name is same in 12 rows, and I try to fetch data sorted by "Name" for startIndex 1. The identifiers (primary key) comes: 14; 18; 17; 16; 15. Then I change the startIndex to 6, the identifier comes: 19; 18; 17; 16; 15. Now I change the startIndex to 11, the identifier comes: 16; 15; 4; 7; 6.
If you observe, there is some same data coming in every Set (18,17,16,15 -- > 18,17,16,15 --> 16,15). After that identifier changes because same name is there in table for 12 times only.

Can anyone explain why is this happening ?
Why the same/duplicate data is coming even when data is sorted on that column and startIndex is changing?
I am using a Oracle DB. I ha...

Is there a reason you're using query entity, such as a large amount of fields in the data store entity? I've noticed that "best practice" has recently moved towards wider use of query entity, but I don't believe this is necessarily correct. In your example, you could create a view that shows a subset of the table, reducing the number of fields in the data store entity, and then use a query rule with multiple sort inputs to work around the lack of sorting functionality in a!queryEntity. You could even do any required table joins within that view, which should perform better than using nested CDTs or multiple calls to a!queryEntity.
