LIMIT, OFFSET and Pagination Basics

Paginate large result sets with LIMIT and OFFSET, understand performance trade-offs, and use keyset pagination for stable scrolling.

LIMIT: Cap the Result

LIMIT n returns at most n rows:

SELECT * FROM products
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 10;

OFFSET: Skip the First N

OFFSET k skips the first k rows:

-- Rows 11–20 (the second page of 10):
SELECT * FROM products
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10;
