Limit the Result
You can limit the number of records returned from the query, by using the “LIMIT” statement:
Example
Select the 5 first records in the “customers” table:
| import mysql.connector mydb = mysql.connector.connect( host=”localhost”, user=”yourusername“, password=”yourpassword“, database=”mydatabase” ) mycursor = mydb.cursor() mycursor.execute(“SELECT * FROM customers LIMIT 5”) myresult = mycursor.fetchall() for x in myresult: print(x) |
Start From Another Position
If you want to return five records, starting from the third record, you can use the “OFFSET” keyword:
Example
Start from position 3, and return 5 records:
| import mysql.connector mydb = mysql.connector.connect( host=”localhost”, user=”yourusername“, password=”yourpassword“, database=”mydatabase” ) mycursor = mydb.cursor() mycursor.execute(“SELECT * FROM customers LIMIT 5 OFFSET 2”) myresult = mycursor.fetchall() for x in myresult: print(x) |
