Question

I have a simple question regrading MySQL. Is it possible to return the rows between row ‘x’ and row ‘y’? It’s sort of hard to explain – for the sake of an example: Return rows 6 through 10, excluding rows 1-5 and rows 11+. Thanks! ;D

Answer 1

Use LIMIT. Remember to combine it with ORDER BY for the results to make any sense.

SELECT fields, ...
FROM table
ORDER BY something_sensible
LIMIT 5, 5

(Start from row 6, take 5 rows)
