Syntax error MySQL query to select too many rows?

MySQL query to select too many rows?

You can use LIMIT for this, which is used to fetch limited number of records. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
(
   Id int,
   Name varchar(20)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)

Insert records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(10,'John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(11,'Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(12,'David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(13,'Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(14,'Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(15,'Sam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(16,'Robert');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

Display records from the table using select command −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+------+--------+
| Id   | Name   |
+------+--------+
| 10   | John   |
| 11   | Chris  |
| 12   | David  |
| 13   | Carol  |
| 14   | Mike   |
| 15   | Sam    |
| 16   | Robert |
+------+--------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now let us select too many rows. The below query will skip first 2 rows and return 4 rows −

mysql> select *from DemoTable limit 2,4;

This will produce the following output −

+------+-------+
| Id   | Name  |
+------+-------+
| 12   | David |
| 13   | Carol |
| 14   | Mike  |
| 15   | Sam   |
+------+-------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
