Question

I have a MySQL table with columns id, name and active. I need to write a SQL select statement that will return a subset of the id’s from this table starting at a specific row number, returning the next 20 rows inclusive. For example:

id   name   active
------------------
a    One    true
b    Two    true
c    Three  true
d    Four   false
e    Five   true
f    Six    false

I need to be able to say start at row 3 in the table and return the id’s for the next 3 rows inclusive (c, d and e).

Thanks in advance!

Use LIMIT:

SELECT 
  *
FROM 
  MyTable
Limit 2,3
