If you have a lot of records in a table in a MySQL, MariaDB, etc. database that are returned when you use the SQL SELECT command to query for matching records, the results may scroll by so that you can't see the initially returned rows. You can limit the number of rows displayed by appending
LIMIT n
at the end of the command where
n is the number of records you want to see at a time.
E.g., if I had 100 records in a table named Sales, but wanted to page
through them 10 records at a time, I could use SELECT * FROM Sales LIMIT
10;
or, if I just wanted to view one
field/column
in the table, e.g. "Description", I could use SELECT Description FROM
Sales LIMIT 10;
