Help is needed in setting an interval

[nemethpeter]

Hello!

 

THere\'s a table with say 5 columns and 60 rows. How can i make a SELECT query, that selects the rows between 20 and 30? (there are id-s in every rows, but as some are usually deleted, it cannot be said, that rows between the id-s 20 and 30) I know, that there\'s a phrase called \'BETWEEN\', but dunno how may i apply it when talkin about rows...

Maybe you can run a loop count each row and tell it to display 20-30?

 

try http://www.mysql.com and run a search there, that site will tell you everything you could ever want to know in plain english, best sitre ever.

Try this

 

select * from tablename where id BETWEEN 20 and 30

Ya know, the problem is, that some rows might be deleted (just as i said) and the id-s may come like 1,3,4,5,8,10 and in this way saying that \"where id BETWEEN 1 and 10\" certainly doesn\'t produce 10 rows of data.

However, recently I\'ve heard that all rows should be processed, and in the array just the surplus should be deleted... What do you think?

 

Thanks for the answers:

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id LIMIT 10 OFFSET 20;

 

will return 10 records starting from record number 20...
