如何限制SQL查询的结果？

Question

I want to limit the results of a query in MySQL. I want the query to search 5000 rows but return only 5 of the 50 that found. How is it possible to do this?

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

This is pretty basic SQL stuff. Check out the LIMIT modifier. You want to do something like:

    SELECT id FROM table LIMIT 5

Answer 2

SELECT * FROM ANYTABLE LIMIT 50;
