Hi Oliveiros

Certainly!  What you're looking for is the LIMIT...OFFSET syntax.

Some examples:

SELECT ... LIMIT 10 - return the first 10 records only.
SELECT ... LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10 - return 10 records, starting with record 11.

Manual page:

Regards,
Andy

Dear List,
Is there any way to force a query to return just a few records? For ex, returning just the first ten rows from a long ORDER BY query ? And then, eventually, obtaining the remaining records at a later time, or in background? Thanks in advance for your help, Best,
Oliveiros
