SELECT * FROM table LIMIT [offset,] rows | the rows offset limit clause can be used to force the SELECT statement to return the specified number of records. LIM

The LIMIT clause can be used to force the SELECT statement to return the specified number of records. LIMIT accepts one or two numeric parameters. The parameter must be an integer constant. If two parameters are specified, the first parameter specifies the offset of the first returned record row, and the second parameter specifies the maximum number of returned record rows. The OFFSET of the initial record row is 0 rather than 1. To be compatible with PostgreSQL, MySQL also supports Syntax: LIMIT # OFFSET #.

LIMIT 2 OFFSET 1;

For example, in this SQL statement, two data records are followed by the limit statement, and the offset statement starts to read from 1st records.

LIMIT 2, 1;

In this SQL statement, limit reads one message starting from 2nd.

SQL statement for querying the latest records:

Time desc LIMIT n;

For Oracle, rownum can be used to implement the same functions.
