Quick Reference
The LIMIT keyword is used to specify the number of records to return.
The following selects the first three records from the Customers table.
MySQL:
SELECT * FROM Customers
LIMIT 3;
SQL Server uses the TOP keyword to do the same thing.
SELECT TOP 3 * FROM Customers;
SQL Notes:
- Any work being done to modify the structure of a database or delete tables or the the database itself should only be done after making a recent backup
We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
