How to order records and fetch some using MySQL LIMIT?
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable679(FirstName varchar(100)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.44 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable679 values('John'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable679 values('Chris'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable679 values('David'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable679 values('Bob'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable679 values('Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable679 values('Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable679 values('Robert'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable679;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+ | FirstName | +-----------+ | John | | Chris | | David | | Bob | | Mike | | Sam | | Robert | +-----------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select the last n rows in MySQL. Here, we are first ordering it in ASC and displaying the first 4 records −
mysql> select * from DemoTable679 order by FirstName Limit 0,4;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+ | FirstName | +-----------+ | Bob | | Chris | | David | | John | +-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
