sqliteHow do I use the SQLite offset command?


The SQLite OFFSET command is used to skip a certain number of rows from the beginning of the result set. This command is used in conjunction with the LIMIT command to return a subset of the result set.

For example, if you wanted to return the 3rd, 4th, and 5th row from the result set, you could use the following command:

SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT 3 OFFSET 2;

The output of this command would be the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rows from the result set.

The syntax for the OFFSET command is as follows:

SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT limit_value OFFSET offset_value;
  • SELECT: This is the keyword used to select data from a database.
  • *: This is a wildcard character used to select all columns from the specified table.
  • FROM: This keyword is used to specify which table to select data from.
  • LIMIT: This keyword is used to specify the number of rows to return in the result set.
  • OFFSET: This keyword is used to skip a certain number of rows from the beginning of the result set.
  • limit_value: This is a numerical value that specifies the number of rows to return in the result set.
  • offset_value: This is a numerical value that specifies the number of rows to skip from the beginning of the result set.
