Question

I select records and group them by date and uid(which is not the primary key), and I need to page those records by date, how can I do it?
For example:

uid  date
1    2012-01-10
2    2012-01-10
3    2012-01-09
3    2012-01-09
3    2012-01-11

sql:

SELECT date, uid
FROM users
GROUP by date,`uid` 

Results:

uid   date
1    2012-01-10
2    2012-01-10
3    2012-01-09
3    2012-01-11

Because I need to page those record by date, if I use sql like:

SELECT date, uid
FROM users
GROUP by date,`uid`
LIMIT 0,2

then I just get the records like this:

uid   date
1    2012-01-10
2    2012-01-10

. how can I page the record by date.
The results I want when page size is 2:

uid   date
1    2012-01-10
2    2012-01-10
3    2012-01-09

Answer 1

SELECT date, uid
FROM users
WHERE date >= 'your date'
  AND date < 'your date' LIMIT 0, 3
