Question

What I need is two queries similar to this one:

SELECT * FROM anchors WHERE site_url = '$site_current'

• The first one would query the first 10 rows
• The other one would query all the remaining rows, starting with row #11

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Query 1:

SELECT * FROM anchors WHERE site_url = '$site_current' LIMIT 10;

Query 2:

SELECT * FROM anchors WHERE site_url = '$site_current' LIMIT 10, 99999999999;

or (different syntax but with same effect):

SELECT * FROM anchors WHERE site_url = '$site_current' LIMIT 99999999999 OFFSET 10;

Unbelievably, with mysql you can’t specify an offset without a limit, so you have to use this retarded syntax of having a massively large limit to get “all remaining rows”, no matter which syntax version you use.
