Question

I want to write SQLite statement something like this:

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 1 AND 10;

but i don’t have such column RowNumber. I have primary key in my table. But is there row number by default that i could use ?

Also i am searching info about writing more complicated SQLite statement. So if you have some links in bookmarks please share.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You want to use LIMIT and OFFSET

SELECT * FROM Table LIMIT 10 OFFSET 0

Which can also be expressed with the following shorthand syntax

SELECT * FROM Table LIMIT X,Y

Where X represents the offset, which is exclusive, and Y represents the quantity, so for example

SELECT * FROM Table LIMIT 50,50

Would return rows 51-100
