Question

I have a table with items that have a datetime column called add_time

I want to do this:

take 5 elements that was added before element with id 10 for example.

I see only one way to doing this, here it is but mysql return zero rows.

SELECT i.* 
FROM  `image` AS  `i` 
LEFT JOIN  `image` AS  `i2` ON i.id = i2.id
WHERE i2.id =1317
AND i.`add_date` < i2.`add_date` 
ORDER BY i.add_date DESC 
LIMIT 0 , 5

Answer 1

select *
from image
where date_add < (select date_add from image where id = 10)
order by date_add desc
limit 5
