As far as i can tell, mysql's limit requires a limit as well as. An offset within an array or other data structure object is an integer indicating the distance (displacement) between the beginning of the object and a given element or point,. 0 offset is majorly used to support pagination in mysql select statements.
Given that get_items does not seem to be a standard model method, it's probably calculated in there; In postgresql there is the limit and offset keywords which will allow very easy pagination of result sets. First the query will execute and then the records after the offset will be returned.
Why don't you set offset and limit directly? I would like to construct a query that displays all the results in a table, but is offset by 5 from the start of the table. What is the equivalent syntax for sql server? For example, in another type of sql database, it's possible to do:
Why is offset = skip and limit = offset? In that case, the sql offset will have to be calculated.
