What are the different methods of pagination in MySQL?

There are several methods for pagination in MySQL.

  1. Using LIMIT and OFFSET:
    You can restrict the number of results in a result set and specify the starting position to return by using the LIMIT and OFFSET clauses. For example, LIMIT 10 OFFSET 20 means to return 10 records starting from the 21st row.
  2. Simplified syntax using LIMIT and OFFSET: You can use the simplified syntax LIMIT X, Y for pagination, where X is the starting position and Y is the number of records to return. For example, LIMIT 20, 10 would return 10 records starting from the 21st line.
  3. Alternative methods to use instead of LIMIT and OFFSET: In MySQL 8.0 and higher versions, you can use alternative syntax to achieve paging without needing to use LIMIT X OFFSET Y.
  4. In MySQL 8.0 and later versions, you can use the LIMIT and FETCH clauses to implement paging. For example, LIMIT 10 FETCH NEXT 20 ROWS ONLY will return 20 records starting from the 11th row.
  5. Using subqueries: Implementing pagination with subqueries involves first querying all records that meet the conditions, and then limiting the result set quantity in the outer query. For example, you can use the following query: SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE condition ORDER BY column_name) AS subquery LIMIT 20 OFFSET 10.
