MySQL query to select records beginning from a specific id

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable    -> (    -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,    -> Name varchar(100)    -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.67 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('John'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('David'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('Carol'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('Bob'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(Name) values('Chris'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

+----+-------+ | Id | Name  | +----+-------+ | 1  | John | | 2  | David | | 3  | Carol | | 4  | Bob | | 5  | Mike | | 6  | Chris | +----+-------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to select records beginning from a specific id.

mysql> select *from DemoTable where Id>=2 order by Id DESC;

Output

+----+-------+ | Id | Name | +----+-------+ | 6 | Chris | | 5 | Mike | | 4 | Bob | | 3 | Carol | | 2 | David | +----+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
