Help! I'm building small wiki app with Prisma and being stuck at paginate function.
It's mind boggling that Prisma doesn't have something so common that is count total record for all page in paging. I search on on their GitHub and found out that they have this issue opened for 1 year, and in the mean time user have to query to database 2 times, 1 for count all and 1 for paginated data. This makes me wonder that which one is better, "count 300 records then get 20 records for 1 page" or "get all 300 records with no paging."? Is there any better way to solve this? Should I wait for this issue https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/7550 to be solved?
