Re: [ADMIN] reg:Query

Depends on which version of Postgres you’re using (pre-8.0 or post-8.0)

I think the format changed from v8.0 onwards.  So, for example, post-8.0:

       SELECT email_address FROM account_details ORDER BY address_id LIMIT 1
OFFSET 0;

Will bring back the first row.  The following will bring back the next and
so on:

        SELECT email_address FROM account_details ORDER BY address_id LIMIT
1 OFFSET 1;

Pre-8.0 the queries would be: 

       SELECT email_address FROM account_details ORDER BY address_id LIMIT
1, 0;
       SELECT email_address FROM account_details ORDER BY address_id LIMIT
1, 1;
       
Note LIMIT 1, 0 (and LIMIT 1 OFFSET 0) is the same as LIMIT 1

Actually, just realized, this depends on your PGSQL version.  

The older format (pre-8.0 I believe) is SELECT ….. LIMIT x, y  (where x is
the number of rows to fetch, and y is the offset (ie. Select x number of
rows, starting from row y.)

SELECT ….. LIMIT 1

Will get the first row in the dataset.  Then to fetch the next row, you can
do SELECT …… LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1 (will get the 2nd record) and so on.
(replace ….. with your conditions, LIMIT must come at the end of the query)
