How does the limit and offset clauses work in SQL?
To retrieve a portion of rows returned by a query, you use the LIMIT and OFFSET clauses. The following illustrates the syntax of these clauses: The row_count determines the number of rows that will be returned. The OFFSET clause skips the offset rows before beginning to return the rows. The OFFSET clause is optional so you can skip it.
When to use limit and offset in DB2?
I am developing a Java Web service allow paging when fetching big data set from a DB2 Database on a IBM Mid Range Machine (AS400). For example; if there are 10000 records in a data set, I want to fetch them in 1000 blocks at a time. I found this article that explains that I can use LIMIT, and OFFSET.

Is there a limit to the number of rows that can be offset?
The maximum offset is 2,000 rows. Requesting an offset greater than 2,000 results in a NUMBER_OUTSIDE_VALID_RANGE error. OFFSET is intended to be used in a top-level query, and is not allowed in most subqueries, so the following query is invalid and returns a MALFORMED_QUERY error:
How does the offset fetch filter work in SQL?
The OFFSET-FETCH filter requires an ORDER BY clause to exist, and it is specified right after it. You start by indicating how many rows to skip in an OFFSET clause, followed by how many rows to filter in a FETCH clause. For example, based on the indicated order, the following query skips the first 50 rows and filters the next 25 rows:
Do you need to specify an offset in T-SQL?
Even if you don’t want to skip any rows, T-SQL still makes it mandatory to specify the OFFSET clause (with 0 ROWS) to avoid parsing ambiguity. Similarly, instead of using the plural form of the keyword ROWS, you can use the singular form ROW in both the OFFSET and the FETCH clauses. This is more natural if you need to skip or filter only one row.
