Selecting Nth Record in an SQL Query

Question

I have an SQL Query that i\'m running but I only want to select a specific row. For example lets say my query was:

Select * from Comments

L

Answer 1

From the SELECT reference, use the LIMIT keyword:

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

Note: this is for MySQL, other SQL engines may have a different keyword.
