How can I get only 10 records from a table where there are more than 1000 records. I have a test table with rowid, name, cost.
select name, cost from test;
here I want to select only first 10 rows and dont want to select rowid.
To select the first ten records you can use LIMIT followed by the number of records you need:
SELECT name, cost FROM test LIMIT 10
To select ten records from a specific location, you can use LIMIT 10, 100
SELECT name, cost FROM test LIMIT 100, 10
This will display records 101-110
SELECT name, cost FROM test LIMIT 10, 100
This will display records 11-111
To make sure you retrieve the correct results, make sure you ORDER BY the results too, otherwise the returned rows may be random-ish
You can read more @ http://php.about.com/od/mysqlcommands/g/Limit_sql.htm
You should have an ORDER BY
clause when you use LIMIT
, so that you will get the same recordset if you call it two times in succession and no data has changed.
So, do something like:
select name, cost
from test
order by rowid
limit 10;
SELECT TOP(10) name, cost FROM test;
Using this query, you can get first 10 records.
SELECT employee_id, first_name
FROM employees
LIMIT 10;
using below query can get first N records suppose N=10
SELECT name, cost FROM test LIMIT 10;
suppose you want to get 10 records starting from the row M then (row index start from 0)
SELECT name, cost FROM test LIMIT 10 OFFSET (M-1);
