This parameter includes the support to LIMIT the SELECT results.
The LIMIT clause can be used to constrain the number of rows returned by the SELECT statement. LIMIT takes one or two numeric arguments, which must be integer constants.
With two arguments, the first argument specifies the offset of the first row to return, and the second specifies the maximum number of rows to return. The offset of the initial row is 0 (not 1):
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 5,10
Retrieves rows 6-15
To retrieve all rows from a certain offset up to the end of the result set, you can use some large number for the second parameter. This statement retrieves all rows from the 96th row to the last:
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 95,99999999
With one argument, the value specifies the number of rows to return from the beginning of the result set:
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 5
Retrieve first 5 rows
In other words, LIMIT n is equivalent to LIMIT 0,n.
Examples (Using Bluzvan Database):
SELECT * FROM Albums LIMIT 0,30
Gets rows 1-30 from Albums table
SELECT * FROM Albums LIMIT 5,10
Gets rows 6-15 from Albums table
SELECT * FROM Albums LIMIT 10
Gets the first 10 rows from Albums table
