Question

I have a feature that gets the record for specific id and has two links for the previous and next record. Right now I have separate queries to obtain the next id:

$query = "SELECT id FROM presentations WHERE id > '$getId' ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1";

$getId is the current id.

Is there a way to consolidate into one query?

Answer 1

SELECT A.id AS previd, B.id AS nextid 
FROM 
  (SELECT id FROM presentations WHERE id < '$getId' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1) A,  
  (SELECT id FROM presentations WHERE id > '$getId' ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1) B

Returns 2 columns: previd and nextid surrounding $getId
