fenway Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 What's OFFSET? This isn't part of MySQL syntax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 It is actually, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html although I think it can't be used in UPDATE http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/update.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You learn something new every day. And yes, you can use it with UPDATE, but it's really only meaningful with an ORDER BY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
