in reply to How can I retrieve records X to Y using DBI?

I'll expand on what chromatic wrote, because the LIMIT keyword can do even more than just that. :) In addition to specifying the max number of records to return, you can specify an offset of where to start in the records being returned. The syntax is
[LIMIT [offset,] rows]
So, for example, to view records 10-35, do this:
select log_id from log_id limit 10,25
Pretty neat! Consult the MySQL SELECT docs for more details and tips.
