I am working on python sqlite3.
This statement gets records 5 - 14;
SELECT * FROM something LIMIT 5, 10;
But how do I get, lets say the first five and last five records through a single statement?
You can combine output of two select statement like this:
(SELECT * FROM `something` order by some_column_name
limit 0,5)
union
(SELECT * FROM `something` order by some_column_name desc
limit 0,5
)
Specify some ordering of rows, so that it will select rows accordingly.
Maybe the better way is using rowid in your order by clause to get the first and last rows based on inserting the rows:
select test from
(select test,rowid from table1 order by rowid asc limit 0,5)t1
union all
select test from
(select test,rowid from table1 order by rowid desc limit 0,5)t2;
Here is a sample in SQL Fiddle
My issue here is that i want to populate all the records except latest 100 records in the database. What could be the best approach to accomplish this?
Try using limit cause
SELECT *
FROM Table
order by id desc
limit 101 , totalrecords
Here id is auto increment field of your table
How about something like
SELECT t.*
FROM Table t LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT ID
FROM Table
ORDER BY ID DESC
LIMIT 100
) top100 ON t.ID = top100.ID
WHERE top100.ID IS NULL
Where ID would be the column to identify the order (latest) and Table from where you wish to select
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE ID < (SELECT ID
FROM Table
ORDER BY ID DESC
LIMIT 99, 1)
How can i find the fifth record in a table using sql query?
If you are feeling argumentative, consider using "SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1" and arguing that since SQL does not promise to return results in any particular order, the row returned is spiritually equivalent to the fifth, then show your tattoo: "The nth element of an unordered set is meaningless!"
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM (SELECT TOP 5 * FROM Table T ORDER BY Column ASC) ORDER BY Column Desc
If you are using SqlServer you could use the TOP keyword to achieve this.
select top 1 * from(
select top 5 * from myTable order by orderingColumn) as A
order by orderingColumn desc
If you are using Oracle this should work (however i am not able to test this now)
select *
from (
select *, row_number() over (order by orderingColumn) r
from items
)
where r = 5;
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1 OFFSET 4;
Fifth record only in MySQL
SELECT * FROM anytable LIMIT ORDER BY id LIMIT 4,1
For SQL Server (recent-ish incarnations, anyway) something like this should work:
SELECT
*
FROM
(
SELECT
*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY the_table.the_column) 'row_num'
FROM
the_table
) numbered_rows
WHERE
row_num = 5
However, I'd actually put my vote with Thomas L Holaday's answer :)
i am running mysql and i would like to display the last 10 records that were added. what is the select statement for this?
If you have an auto-incrementing ID, you can do this:
SELECT * FROM my_table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10;
If you don't, you'll need some criteria you can order by. An insertion date or something. The LIMIT 10 clause is what you're looking for here.
If you have an autoincrementing ID you can use this:
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 10
If you have a column added_datetime that is set to the time of the insert then you can use that instead:
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
ORDER BY added_datetime DESC
LIMIT 10

Implement paging (skip / take) functionality with this query
(6 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have this query with MySQL:
select * from table1 LIMIT 10,20
How can I do this with SQL Server?
Starting SQL SERVER 2005, you can do this...
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
WITH OrderedOrders AS
(
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderDate) AS 'RowNumber'
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
)
SELECT *
FROM OrderedOrders
WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 10 AND 20;
or something like this for 2000 and below versions...
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM (SELECT TOP 20 FROM Table ORDER BY Id) ORDER BY Id DESC
Starting with SQL SERVER 2012, you can use the OFFSET FETCH Clause:
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
ORDER BY SalesOrderID
OFFSET 10 ROWS
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY;
GO
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188385(v=sql.110).aspx
This may not work correctly when the order by is not unique.
If the query is modified to ORDER BY OrderDate, the result set returned is not as expected.
This is how I limit the results in MS SQL Server 2012:
SELECT *
FROM table1
ORDER BY columnName
OFFSET 10 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY
NOTE: OFFSET can only be used with or in tandem to ORDER BY.
To explain the code line OFFSET xx ROWS FETCH NEXT yy ROW ONLY
The xx is the record/row number you want to start pulling from in the table, i.e: If there are 40 records in table 1, the code above will start pulling from row 10.
The yy is the number of records/rows you want to pull from the table.
To build on the previous example: If table 1 has 40 records and you began pulling from row 10 and grab the NEXT set of 10 (yy).
That would mean, the code above will pull the records from table 1 starting at row 10 and ending at 20. Thus pulling rows 10 - 20.

This is almost a duplicate of a question I asked in October:
Emulate MySQL LIMIT clause in Microsoft SQL Server 2000
If you're using Microsoft SQL Server 2000, there is no good solution. Most people have to resort to capturing the result of the query in a temporary table with a IDENTITY primary key. Then query against the primary key column using a BETWEEN condition.
If you're using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later, you have a ROW_NUMBER() function, so you can get the same result but avoid the temporary table.
SELECT t1.*
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER OVER(ORDER BY id) AS row, t1.*
FROM ( ...original SQL query... ) t1
) t2
WHERE t2.row BETWEEN #offset+1 AND #offset+#count;
You can also write this as a common table expression as shown in #Leon Tayson's answer.
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT TOP 20
t.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY field1) AS rn
FROM table1 t
ORDER BY
field1
) t
WHERE rn > 10
Syntactically MySQL LIMIT query is something like this:
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT OFFSET, ROW_COUNT
This can be translated into Microsoft SQL Server like
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT TOP #{OFFSET+ROW_COUNT} *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS rnum
FROM table
) a
WHERE rnum > OFFSET
Now your query select * from table1 LIMIT 10,20 will be like this:
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT TOP 30 *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS rnum
FROM table1
) a
WHERE rnum > 10
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM table;
Is the same as
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 0,10;
Here's an article about implementing Limit in MsSQL Its a nice read, specially the comments.
This is one of the reasons I try to avoid using MS Server... but anyway. Sometimes you just don't have an option (yei! and I have to use an outdated version!!).
My suggestion is to create a virtual table:
From:
SELECT * FROM table
To:
CREATE VIEW v_table AS
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY table_key) AS row,* FROM table
Then just query:
SELECT * FROM v_table WHERE row BETWEEN 10 AND 20
If fields are added, or removed, "row" is updated automatically.
The main problem with this option is that ORDER BY is fixed. So if you want a different order, you would have to create another view.
UPDATE
There is another problem with this approach: if you try to filter your data, it won't work as expected. For example, if you do:
SELECT * FROM v_table WHERE field = 'test' AND row BETWEEN 10 AND 20
WHERE becomes limited to those data which are in the rows between 10 and 20 (instead of searching the whole dataset and limiting the output).
In SQL there's no LIMIT keyword exists. If you only need a limited number of rows you should use a TOP keyword which is similar to a LIMIT.
Must try. In below query, you can see group by, order by, Skip rows, and limit rows.
select emp_no , sum(salary_amount) from emp_salary
Group by emp_no
ORDER BY emp_no
OFFSET 5 ROWS -- Skip first 5
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY; -- limit to retrieve next 10 row after skiping rows
Easy way
MYSQL:
SELECT 'filds' FROM 'table' WHERE 'where' LIMIT 'offset','per_page'
MSSQL:
SELECT 'filds' FROM 'table' WHERE 'where' ORDER BY 'any' OFFSET 'offset'
ROWS FETCH NEXT 'per_page' ROWS ONLY
ORDER BY is mandatory
This is a multi step approach that will work in SQL2000.
-- Create a temp table to hold the data
CREATE TABLE #foo(rowID int identity(1, 1), myOtherColumns)
INSERT INTO #foo (myColumns) SELECT myData order By MyCriteria
Select * FROM #foo where rowID > 10
SELECT
*
FROM
(
SELECT
top 20 -- ($a) number of records to show
*
FROM
(
SELECT
top 29 -- ($b) last record position
*
FROM
table -- replace this for table name (i.e. "Customer")
ORDER BY
2 ASC
) AS tbl1
ORDER BY
2 DESC
) AS tbl2
ORDER BY
2 ASC;
-- Examples:
-- Show 5 records from position 5:
-- $a = 5;
-- $b = (5 + 5) - 1
-- $b = 9;
-- Show 10 records from position 4:
-- $a = 10;
-- $b = (10 + 4) - 1
-- $b = 13;
-- To calculate $b:
-- $b = ($a + position) - 1
-- For the present exercise we need to:
-- Show 20 records from position 10:
-- $a = 20;
-- $b = (20 + 10) - 1
-- $b = 29;
If your ID is unique identifier type or your id in table is not sorted you must do like this below.
select * from
(select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (select 0)) AS RowNumber,* from table1) a
where a.RowNumber between 2 and 5
The code will be
select * from limit 2,5
better use this in MSSQLExpress 2017.
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) as [Count], * FROM table1
) as a
WHERE [Count] BETWEEN 10 and 20;
--Giving a Column [Count] and assigning every row a unique counting without ordering something then re select again where you can provide your limits.. :)
One of the possible way to get result as below , hope this will help.
declare #start int
declare #end int
SET #start = '5000'; -- 0 , 5000 ,
SET #end = '10000'; -- 5001, 10001
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT TABLE_NAME,TABLE_TYPE, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY TABLE_NAME) as row FROM information_schema.tables
) a WHERE a.row > #start and a.row <= #end
If i remember correctly (it's been a while since i dabbed with SQL Server) you may be able to use something like this: (2005 and up)
SELECT
*
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY SomeFields) AS [RowNum]
FROM SomeTable
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN 10 AND 20
