MySQL LIMIT in a Range: Fail to Display First 3 Rows

Following is the syntax to display only the first 3 rows with LIMIT set in a range −

select *from yourTableName limit yourStartIndex,yourEndIndex;

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table demo67
−> (
−> id int,
−> user_name varchar(40),
−> user_country_name varchar(20)
−> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.72 sec)

Insert some records into the table with the help of insert command −

mysql> insert into demo67 values(10,'John','US');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)

mysql> insert into demo67 values(1001,'David','AUS');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

mysql> insert into demo67 values(101,'Mike','UK');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)

mysql> insert into demo67 values(102,'Carol','AUS');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)

mysql> insert into demo67 values(110,'Chris','US');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.36 sec)

mysql> insert into demo67 values(105,'David','AUS');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)

Display records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from demo67;

This will produce the following output −

+------+-----------+-------------------+
| id   | user_name | user_country_name |
+------+-----------+-------------------+
| 10   | John      | US                |
| 1001 | David     | AUS               |
| 101  | Mike      | UK                |
| 102  | Carol     | AUS               |
| 110  | Chris     | US                |
| 105  | David     | AUS               |
+------+-----------+-------------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query for MySQL limit to display the first three rows −

mysql> select *from demo67 limit 0,3;

This will produce the following output −

+------+-----------+-------------------+
| id   | user_name | user_country_name |
+------+-----------+-------------------+
| 10   | John      | US                |
| 1001 | David     | AUS               |
| 101  | Mike      | UK                |
+------+-----------+-------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
