Let's say I have a simple schema:
CREATE TABLE MyTable ( ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, SomeData )
What I'd like to get is 5 records (for example) that are immediately
before a given ID (where before means their ID is less than).
select * from MyTable
where ID < ?
order by ID desc limit 5;
Ah, thank you! I had a similar one but was doing an "asc" to get the
order I wanted, which doesn't make sense - I should sort the results
after I get them on my own.
You could do something like this:
select * from MyTable
where ID in (
select ID from MyTable
where ID < ?
order by ID desc limit 5
)
order by ID asc; -- or whatever order you want
