MySql Limit is used to get the number of records from the table as your requirements.
to create the MySQL select query with a Limit clause in Nodejs, I have defined 2 steps.
Suppose, You have users table which has 4 records.
ID
Name
Age
1
John
35
2
Rom
31
3
Mathew
32
4
Sachin
38
Suppose, You want to get the user details based on limit 1.
Step:1) firstly create the connection.js file.
const mysql = require('mysql');
const config = {
connectionLimit : 10,
host : 'localhost', // Database hostname,
user : 'root', // Database Username
password : 'jnnn23nn', // Database Password,
database : 'dbname', //Database Name
};
const pool = mysql.createPool(config);
// Export the pool
module.exports = pool;
IN the connection.js file, You have to include mysql package and create the connection pool.
Step:2) Now, create the select.js file and include the connection.js file and write the select query in this.
const pool = require('./connection');
pool.getConnection(function(err, connection) {
if (err) {
console.error('error in db connection');
return;
}
console.log('db is connected');
return ;
});
pool.query('select * from users limit 1', function (error, results) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log('result is: ', results);
});
Now, run the select.js file.
node select.js
Output:-
[ RowDataPacket { id: 1, name: ‘John’, age: 35 } ]
