Thread: limit 0,10 within SELECT ..... FROM ......

You should use offset this will help you in this

Select id, tittel, dato, kilde, referat FROM nyheter order by id desc
limit 5 offset 5

will return 5 - 9 i think or 10 but this is how you should use it

do \h select when in psql interface to view select command

Probably because you're really wanting to do:

 SELECT id, tittel, dato, kilde, referat
  FROM nyheter ORDER BY desc LIMIT 10, 0

(i.e. got the arguments the wrong way round) It's much more intuitive
to use the "LIMIT n OFFSET m" syntax.
