The reasons for this are
being explained as a result of various features being deemed outside the scope of the primary
intention of Active Record or of features not working well enough to be included in the core at
this time.
CHAPTER 8 ?– ACTIVE RECORD AND THE REAL WORLD 193
Pagination, which is basically the process of displaying or working through a data result set
in small chunks (rather than all at once), is one example of a feature expected to be removed and
made available only via a plug-in. Actually, pagination isn??™t really a part of Active Record even right
now; it??™s a part of the Action Controller library that only appears to be a part of the Active Record
feature set. This is possibly part of the issue with the current pagination implementation that
many developers have. In any case, many of the new pagination plug-ins functionally put their
feature set as a part of Active Record, and pagination is, indeed, better suited in Active Record.
However, no pagination is expected to be included directly in Active Record.
