Thread: LIMIT + OFFSET

LIMIT + OFFSET

From
"MG"
Date:
Hello,
 
I want to show an overview where you can place 16 data sets.
I use the sql-statement
SELECT F1,F2 FROM testtable limit 16 offset 0
 
To show different pages I vary the value for offset.
 
But if I want to stay on a special data set, I have the problem to find the right value for offset.
How can I realize this?
 
Thanks for your help
 
Michaela

You shoeld add a 'order by F1, F2' to get e defined order for the
result-set.
