Question

The thing I would like to do:

Select the row where date = 2012-10-14 and then display 4 rows which go after that row. So from this list

2012-10-12 column #2
2012-10-13 column #2
2012-10-14 was very sunny.
2012-10-15 rained all day.
2012-10-16 whatever.
2012-10-17 column #2
2012-10-18 column #2
2012-10-19 rained all day.
2012-10-20 whatever.
2012-10-21 column #2
2012-10-22 column #2

it would return this:

2012-10-14 was very sunny.
2012-10-15 rained all day.
2012-10-16 whatever.
2012-10-17 column #2
2012-10-18 column #2

Thanks for help.

PS: In the database there are no data on weekends so some of the dates will be missing.

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE date >= '2012-10-14' ORDER BY date LIMIT 5
