Question

Pretty simple: I want to select previous 10 rows from a table called Image starting at X. Normally, it would just look something like:

"select * from image order by image_id desc limit X, 10"

However, I want the previous 10 rows after X, not the next 10 rows (so, I want x-1, x-2, x-3, etc. instead of x+1, x+2, x+3, etc.).

Any easy way of doing this?

By the way, Image has 3 columns: image_id (primary, AI), image_link, and timestamp.

EDIT: The reason why I can’t do “order by image_id asc” is because I want to build a list that goes from newest to oldest. Ordering by ascending would create the list as oldest to newest.

Answer 1

I think its pretty simple

select * from image order by image_id desc limit (X-10), 10
