Hi,
Just because it supports the keyword 'limit' doesn't mean much.
mysql does:
select * from table limit x,y;
postgresql does:
select * from table limit y offset x;
different syntax.
Because it makes the thread harder to read.
Why is top posting bad?
Anywho, A) I said that "Considering that the OP mentioned using the
LIMIT command in his original post, it's probably safe to say that his
db supports it." Which means quite a bit; his db supports it. B) Let's
once again look at the OP's post, follow the thread, and use our problem
solving skills: "SELECT * FROM `x_news` LIMIT 0 , 15". Hmmm, can we
tell what syntax that follows?

You can use SELECT fields FROM table WHERE condition LIMIT 15, -1

Hello
I have a news page which is getting quite long now and I would like
to split the news to two pages. Now I have one SQL query for all
the rows and I think I could use LIMIT to limit the results but how
to limit the results for example to 15 rows for page one and from
16 to the last on second page? Number of rows increase daily.
One page one there's headline and short summary and the second page
should be "archive" with only the headline so all remaining rows
can be printed to one page.
Something like: "SELECT * FROM `x_news` LIMIT 0 , 15" but how to
do the archive page SELECT * FROM `x_news` LIMIT 16 , xx?
Thanks

Answers that show SQL commands that apply to specific databases annoy
me. Not everyone uses MySQL. I've worked with several databases that
don't support a LIMIT command. At least mention the database engine
you are referencing.
Considering that the OP mentioned using the LIMIT command in his
original post, it's probably safe to say that his db supports it. At
least follow the thread.
