The `limit` clause

The limit clause restricts the number of documents returned by a query. It is used as a part of the select statement.

Syntax

limit [limitCount]

The specified number should be a positive integer.

In the select statement, the limit clause is frequently used along with other clauses. This is the order they should occur in:

Any of the clauses above may be omitted.

Using a number to set the number of documents to be returned:

select * from myTable limit 10

Using a variable to set the number of documents to be returned:

var limitCount = 10

select * from myTable limit limitCount

Using the limit clause along with where, order by and offset clauses in the select statement:

select * from myTable t
where t.currency == "USD" 
order by id
limit 10 
offset 5
