Efficiently Paginate Query Results
Learn how to paginate large datasets in SQL using LIMIT and OFFSET to retrieve specific subsets of data, crucial for web application performance.
SELECT id, name, created_at FROM products ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 10 OFFSET 20;
How it works: This query retrieves 10 records from the `products` table, starting after the first 20 records, ordered by creation date. `LIMIT` specifies the maximum number of rows to return, and `OFFSET` specifies the number of rows to skip before starting to return rows. This is a standard method for implementing pagination in web applications.
