Question

I want to show all rows except the last two id. I have tried:

SELECT f.* FROM Failed_Order_EmailIds f WHERE id NOT IN
 (SELECT id FROM Failed_Order_EmailIds ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 2) 

This is giving the following error:

This version of MySQL doesn't yet support 'LIMIT & IN/ALL/ANY/SOME subquery'

Answer 1

SELECT f.* 
FROM Failed_Order_EmailIds f 
  LEFT JOIN
    (SELECT id FROM Failed_Order_EmailIds ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 2)
  AS last2
    ON last2.id = f.id
WHERE last2.id IS NULL

You could also use this:

SELECT f.* 
FROM Failed_Order_EmailIds f 
WHERE f.id <
        ( SELECT MIN(id)
          FROM 
            ( SELECT id FROM Failed_Order_EmailIds ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 2)
            AS last2
        )
