Question

I want to know, how can i select next 4 consecutive rows along with the resultant row in MySQL?

To explain:-

i have following rows in table abc

name | amount 

 a   -  1000

 b   -  2000

 c   -  3000

 d   -  4000

 e   -  5000

 f   -  6000

Now,
if my selection criteria is name = a , then resultant rows returned should be

 a   -  1000

 b   -  2000

 c   -  3000

 d   -  4000

 e   -  5000

In other words i want a query which will return result of query – “select * from abc where name = ‘a'” plus next 4 consecutive rows to that row?

Answer 1

SELECT   abc.*
FROM     abc JOIN (SELECT amount FROM abc WHERE name = 'a') t
WHERE    abc.amount >= t.amount
ORDER BY abc.amount
LIMIT    5
