To understand this concept we are using the data from table ‘Information’ as follows −
mysql> Select * from Information; +----+---------+ | id | Name | +----+---------+ | 1 | Gaurav | | 2 | Ram | | 3 | Rahul | | 4 | Aarav | | 5 | Aryan | | 6 | Krishan | +----+---------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now, the query below will fetch the alternate even-numbered records from the above table ‘Information’ −
mysql> Select id,Name from information group by id having mod(id,2) = 0; +----+---------+ | id | Name | +----+---------+ | 2 | Ram | | 4 | Aarav | | 6 | Krishan | +----+---------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
