How to return the nth record from MySQL query?
To get the nth record from MySQL query, you can use LIMIT. The syntax is as follows −
select *from yourTableName order by yourColumnName limit n,1;
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The following is the query to create a table −
mysql> create table NthRecordDemo −> ( −> Id int, −> Name varchar(200) −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.92 sec)
Insert some records in the table using the following query −
mysql> insert into NthRecordDemo values(100,'John'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec) mysql> insert into NthRecordDemo values(101,'Bob'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into NthRecordDemo values(102,'Carol'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec) mysql> insert into NthRecordDemo values(103,'Smith'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into NthRecordDemo values(104,'Johnson'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into NthRecordDemo values(105,'Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into NthRecordDemo values(106,'David'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
Display all records from the table with the help of select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from NthRecordDemo;
The following is the output −
+------+---------+ | Id | Name | +------+---------+ | 100 | John | | 101 | Bob | | 102 | Carol | | 103 | Smith | | 104 | Johnson | | 105 | Sam | | 106 | David | +------+---------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Use the following query to get nth record from the table −
mysql> select *from NthRecordDemo order by Id limit 6,1;
The following is the output −
+------+-------+ | Id | Name | +------+-------+ | 106 | David | +------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
