限制和抵消左联接的搜索查询

Question

I've got two tables: tasks and pages. The first page has a column that references the second table multiple times, called page_number . I want to get all fields of the first table and all page number values for the same tasks.id . My query for getting this data is as such:

SELECT
TASKS.ID,TASKS.URL,TASKS.ASSIGNEE,PAGES.TASK_ID,PAGES.PAGE_NUMBER
FROM TASKS
INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM TASKS ORDER BY TASKS.ID LIMIT ? OFFSET ?)
AS T ON (TASKS.ID=T.ID)
LEFT JOIN PAGES ON (TASKS.ID=PAGES.TASK_ID);

This works, and I get an output like so:

      id  |          url          | assignee | task_id | page_number
------+-----------------------+----------+---------+-------------
   15 | /vector.pdf           |          |      15 |           1
   15 | /vector.pdf           |          |      15 |           2
   23 | /raster.pdf           |          |      23 |           1
   23 | /raster.pdf           |          |      23 |           2
   23 | /raster.pdf           |          |      23 |           4
 1001 | https://everette.com  |          |    1001 |           1
 1001 | https://everette.com  |          |    1001 |           2
 1002 | https://scarlett.com  |          |    1002 |           1
 1002 | https://scarlett.com  |          |    1002 |           2
 1002 | https://scarlett.com  |          |    1002 |           3
 1002 | https://scarlett.com  |          |    1002 |           4
 1002 | https://scarlett.com  |          |    1002 |           5
 1002 | https://scarlett.com  |          |    1002 |           6
 1002 | https://scarlett.com  |          |    1002 |           7

But I've come upon other requirements: I need to get a total count of the TASKS table as well in the same query (for pagination in the front-end), and I need to be able to search the resulting table (ie look for any substring in the table) . To search the table, I did this:

SELECT 
TASKS.ID,TASKS.URL,TASKS.ASSIGNEE,PAGES.TASK_ID,PAGES.PAGE_NUMBER
FROM TASKS
INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM TASKS ORDER BY TASKS.ID LIMIT ? OFFSET ?)
AS T ON (TASKS.ID=T.ID)
LEFT JOIN PAGES ON (TASKS.ID=PAGES.TASK_ID)
WHERE TASKS.URL  LIKE ?
OR CAST(TASKS.ID AS TEXT) LIKE ?

I do get results, but LIMIT and OFFSET work on the joined table before the WHERE clause, so I set LIMIT to something like 10 and OFFSET to 5, try to look for a record that's in the first 5 records and get no results because the matching records are further on in the original table:

SELECT
TASKS.ID,TASKS.URL,TASKS.ASSIGNEE,PAGES.TASK_ID,PAGES.PAGE_NUMBER
FROM TASKS
INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM TASKS ORDER BY TASKS.ID LIMIT 10 OFFSET 5)
AS T ON (TASKS.ID=T.ID)
LEFT JOIN PAGES ON (TASKS.ID=PAGES.TASK_ID)
WHERE TASKS.URL  LIKE '%everette%'
OR CAST(TASKS.ID AS TEXT) LIKE 99

Actual output:

 id | url | assignee | task_id | page_number
----+-----+----------+---------+-------------
(0 rows)

Expected Output:

id  |          url          | assignee | task_id | page_number
------+-----------------------+----------+---------+-------------
1001 | https://everette.com  |          |    1001 |           1
1001 | https://everette.com  |          |    1001 |           2

How should I structure this query so I get all records that match the WHERE clause, getting at most limit tasks?

I'm using PostgreSQL, btw. Thanks in advance for any help.

You could add that count to the column list:

SELECT ... column list ..., 
       (select count(*) from tasks) as total_task
FROM tasks
  JOIN (SELECT * FROM tasks ORDER BY tasks.id LIMIT ? OFFSET ?) AS T 
    ON tasks.id = t.id
  LEFT JOIN pages ON tasks.id pages.task_id;
