MySQL Limit
The LIMIT clause, as you might guess, is used to limit the number of rows returned in the result set. It has two parameters or arguments. The first parameter is offset which tells mysql how many rows to skip before starting to retrieve. The second parameter is count which tells mysql how many rows to retrieve.
SELECT
column_name1,column_name2,...
FROM
table_name
LIMIT offset , count;
Here is an example.
As you can see here, the offset is 2 which means mysql will skip row one and two and start retrieving from row number 3. The count is 5 which means it will retrieve 5 rows. As a result, you see rows [3,4,5,6,and 7].
Offset is optional
The offset argument is optional. If you don’t use an offset then offset will be default to zero.
SELECT
column_name1,column_name2,...
FROM
table_name
LIMIT count;
The query above is the same as the query below.
SELECT
column_name1,column_name2,...
FROM
table_name
LIMIT 0, count;
Here is an example
LIMIT without the offset argument, just the count argument.
