APEX

Hi all,

we have a apex site with an interactive report, that fetches 20000 rows. rows per page is adjusted to 25 rows. But apex always fetches the complete 20000 rows though only 25 rows are displayed. so our statement takes a long time (up to 2 mins) to complete and only 25 results are there. i be aware of the max_row_count feature but we have a need that all results are displayed.
is there a possibility that apex fetches first 25 results, after pagination the next 25 and so on, but not all on the first page?
the only trick i can remember is to wright the ROWNUM directly in the sql statement, but this "trick" isn´t the most beautiful solution...
seeing:

SELECT *
  FROM (SELECT rownum,
               emp.lastname
          FROM emp
         WHERE emp.empno BETWEEN 1 AND 100
         ORDER BY  emp.lastname)
 WHERE rownum <= 5

thanks for your help!
