How to Skip the First N Rows in SQL Query

How to skip the first n rows in sql query

Query: in sql-server

DECLARE @N INT = 5 --Any random number

SELECT * FROM (
        SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ID) AS RoNum
              , ID --Add any fields needed here (or replace ID by *)
        FROM TABLE_NAME
) AS tbl 
WHERE @N < RoNum
ORDER BY tbl.ID

This will give rows of Table, where rownumber is starting from @N + 1.

How to skip the first row of data in SQL Query?

You can use LIMIT to skip any number of row you want. Something like

SELECT * FROM table
LIMIT 1 OFFSET 10

SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 5,10;  # Retrieve rows 6-15

To retrieve all rows from a certain offset up to the end of the result set, you can use some large number for the second parameter. This statement retrieves all rows from the 96th row to the last:

SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 95,18446744073709551615;

With one argument, the value specifies the number of rows to return from the beginning of the result set:

SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 5;     # Retrieve first 5 rows

How to skip the first n rows in a MySQL database with a Java program?

OFFSET is what you are looking for :

select * from table_name limit x offset y; -- to skip y rows

Or use LIMIT with two parameters. For example, to return 30 rows with first 10 rows skipped (will return 11 to 40), use:

select * from table_name limit 10, 30;

SQL SELECT skip first N results?

You're looking for the OFFSET keyword

$offset = $page*10;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE MATCH (City) AGAINST ('$city') ORDER by Date DESC LIMIT 10 OFFSET '$offset'");

Implement paging (skip / take) functionality with this query

In SQL Server 2012 it is very very easy

SELECT col1, col2, ...
 FROM ...
 WHERE ... 
 ORDER BY -- this is a MUST there must be ORDER BY statement
-- the paging comes here
OFFSET     10 ROWS       -- skip 10 rows
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY; -- take 10 rows

If we want to skip ORDER BY we can use

SELECT col1, col2, ...
  ...
 ORDER BY CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
OFFSET     10 ROWS       -- skip 10 rows
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY; -- take 10 rows

(I'd rather mark that as a hack - but it's used, e.g. by NHibernate. To use a wisely picked up column as ORDER BY is preferred way)

to answer the question:

--SQL SERVER 2012
SELECT PostId FROM 
        ( SELECT PostId, MAX (Datemade) as LastDate
            from dbForumEntry 
            group by PostId 
        ) SubQueryAlias
 order by LastDate desc
OFFSET 10 ROWS -- skip 10 rows
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY; -- take 10 rows

New key words offset and fetch next (just following SQL standards) were introduced.

But I guess, that you are not using SQL Server 2012, right? In previous version it is a bit (little bit) difficult. Here is comparison and examples for all SQL server versions: here

So, this could work in SQL Server 2008:

-- SQL SERVER 2008
DECLARE @Start INT
DECLARE @End INT
SELECT @Start = 10,@End = 20;

;WITH PostCTE AS 
 ( SELECT PostId, MAX (Datemade) as LastDate
   ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY PostId) AS RowNumber
   from dbForumEntry 
   group by PostId 
 )
SELECT PostId, LastDate
FROM PostCTE
WHERE RowNumber > @Start AND RowNumber <= @End
ORDER BY PostId

How to skip first n rows in U-SQL job?

You just pass it to the extractor like this:

@searchlog =
 EXTRACT UserId          int,
         Start           DateTime,
         Region          string,
         Query           string,
         Duration        int?,
         Urls            string,
         ClickedUrls     string
 FROM "/Samples/Data/SearchLog.tsv"
 USING Extractors.Tsv(skipFirstNRows: 2);

I based the example on the TSV extractor as that one defaults to a tab as the delimiter.

You can just put in a really big value for the limit. Something like this usually works:

limit k, 999999999
