PostgreSQL LIMIT

PostgreSQL Notes · CodingNow 2.01 min readSource

The LIMIT Clause

The LIMIT clause is used to limit the maximum number of records to return.

Example

SELECT * FROM customers
LIMIT 20;

The OFFSET Clause

The OFFSET clause is used to specify where to start selecting the records to return.

If you want to return 20 records, but start at number 40, you can use both LIMIT and OFFSET.

Note: The first record is number 0, so when you specify OFFSET 40 it means starting at record number 41.

Example

SELECT * FROM customers
LIMIT 20 OFFSET 40;
