MySQL query to select records beginning from a specific id


Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   -> (
   -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
   -> Name varchar(100)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.67 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

+----+-------+
| Id | Name  |
+----+-------+
| 1  | John  |
| 2  | David |
| 3  | Carol |
| 4  | Bob   |
| 5  | Mike  |
| 6  | Chris |
+----+-------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to select records beginning from a specific id.

mysql> select *from DemoTable where Id>=2 order by Id DESC;

| Id | Name  |
+----+-------+
| 6  | Chris |
| 5  | Mike  |
| 4  | Bob   |
| 3  | Carol |
