How to skip the first n rows in sql query

Question

I want to fire a Query \"SELECT * FROM TABLE\" but select only from row N+1. Any idea on how to do this?

Answer 1

In order to do this in SQL Server, you must order the query by a column, so you can specify the rows you want.

Example:

select * from table order by [some_column] 
offset 10 rows
FETCH NEXT 10 rows only

Answer 2

SQL Server:

select * from table
except
select top N * from table

Oracle up to 11.2:

select * from table
minus
select * from table where rownum <= N

with TableWithNum as (
    select t.*, rownum as Num
    from Table t
)
select * from TableWithNum where Num > N

Oracle 12.1 and later (following standard ANSI SQL)

select *
from table
order by some_column 
offset x rows
fetch first y rows only

They may meet your needs more or less.

There is no direct way to do what you want by SQL. However, it is not a design flaw, in my opinion.

SQL is not supposed to be used like this.

In relational databases, a table represents a relation, which is a set by definition. A set contains unordered elements.

Also, don't rely on the physical order of the records. The row order is not guaranteed by the RDBMS.

If the ordering of the records is important, you'd better add a column such as `Num' to the table, and use the following query. This is more natural.

select * 
from Table 
where Num > N
order by Num

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

try below query it's work

SELECT * FROM `my_table` WHERE id != (SELECT id From my_table LIMIT 1)

Hope this will help

Answer 5

What about:

SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 50 OFFSET 1

Answer 6

In Faircom SQL (which is a pseudo MySQL), i can do this in a super simple SQL Statement, just as follows:

SELECT SKIP 10 * FROM TABLE ORDER BY Id

Obviously you can just replace 10 with any declared variable of your desire.

I don't have access to MS SQL or other platforms, but I'll be really surprised MS SQL doesn't support something like this.
