SELECT * FROM table LIMIT [offset,] rows | rows OFFSET offset
LIMIT 子句可以被用于强制 SELECT 语句返回指定的记录数。LIMIT 接受一个或两个数字参数。参数必须是一个整数常量。如果给定两个参数，第一个参数指定第一个返回记录行的偏移量，第二个参数指定返回记录行的最大数目。初 始记录行的偏移量是 0(而不是 1)： 为了与 PostgreSQL 兼容，MySQL 也支持句法： LIMIT # OFFSET #。
mysql> SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 5,10; // 检索记录行 6-15
//为了检索从某一个偏移量到记录集的结束所有的记录行，可以指定第二个参数为 -1： 
mysql> SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 95,-1; // 检索记录行 96-last.
//如果只给定一个参数，它表示返回最大的记录行数目： 
mysql> SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 5; //检索前 5 个记录行
//换句话说，LIMIT n 等价于 LIMIT 0,n。实例：
mysql> use sppeivan;
Database changed
mysql> select * from employee; // 返回所有结果
