I think the only way to do it is first get the amount of items:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM item;
if you use PHP, store the count in a variable called $count.
subtract 10 from count:
$limit = 10;
if($count < $limit) {
$limit = $count;
}
$count = $count - 10;
if($count < 0) {
$count = 0;
}
then do the following:
SELECT * FROM item ORDER BY id LIMIT $count,$limit;
