Hello list :) I am developing an application that will show records in paginated documents, i.e. 10 records per page
Lets supose this row structure MyTable ID(autoincrement) SectionID Name Description The ID is automatic autoincrement for unique records, the SectionID is to separate items into different sections. If I query a particular SectionID rows it should return all those rows. If I use "LIMIT x,10" it should return 10 rows beginning at record #x, but my doubt is: Does the OFFSET x assumes its value to be #x number of consecutive rows, or it is relative to the query results? For example ID SID name description ------------------------------------------ 01 01 nameA descriptionA 02 02 nameB descriptionB 03 01 nameC descriptionC 04 02 nameD descriptionD 05 02 nameE descriptionE 06 01 nameF descriptionF 07 02 nameG descriptionG 08 01 nameH descriptionH 09 02 nameI descriptionI 10 02 nameJ descriptionJ ------------------------------------------ If I do SELECT name from MyTable SID where SID='02' LIMIT 1,2 (offset 1, 2 elements) it should return: nameB, nameD theni f I do SELECT name from MyTable SID where SID='02' LIMIT 3,2 (offset 3, 2 elements) it should return: nameE, nameG and if I do SELECT name from MyTable SID where SID='02' LIMIT 3,2 (offset 5, 2 elements) it should return: nameI, nameJ Is it correct? My doubt is if the OFFSET is relative to the SELECT results (to ignore the # first result rows) that match the condition SID='02' only, to show 2 by 2 records (or N by N)... Thanks for your help
