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)
