Thread: "Display of specified number of records."

Hi, I have got following simple SQL. Select TestID from test where testname = ' ' order by testdate.  Suppose for
argumentsake there are 100 records and testID's are 1
 
to 100. Is it possible to modify this SQL so that it will display records
from 10 to 50 and not any other records.

Rajesh.

You want to just display records WHERE the field is BETWEEN
10 and 50?

SELECT * FROM test WHERE testID BETWEEN 10 AND 50;

If you want them to be ordered by the testID, just include a ORDER BY
testID;

See, isn't SQL a friendly language? :-)

Robby Slaughter has given one solution in another reply.

If that's not quite what you're after, and you want the 10th to 50th results
from the above query you can do:

... order by testdate limit 40 offset 10;

This calculates the results and then throws away the first nine and anything
after the 50th.

Use "<",  ">" and "AND" after the "WHERE" to filter your return. This
works only if your testID is Serialized (ie 1,2,3). If they are
uniqueID's, another field must be used in it's place....
