postgresqlHow can I limit the results returned by a PostgreSQL query?
Limiting the results returned by a PostgreSQL query can be done with the LIMIT clause. This clause is used to restrict the number of rows returned in a query result. For example:
SELECT * FROM table_name
LIMIT 5;This query will return only the first 5 rows from the table.
The LIMIT clause can also be used in combination with the OFFSET clause to skip a number of rows before starting to return the results. For example:
SELECT * FROM table_name
LIMIT 5
OFFSET 10;This query will return the rows 11 through 15 from the table.
The parts of the code used in the examples are:
SELECT- specifies the columns to be returned by the queryFROM- specifies the table from which the data is to be retrievedLIMIT- specifies the maximum number of rows to be returnedOFFSET- specifies the number of rows to be skipped before returning the results
