16.12.1. Skip first three

16.12.1. Skip first three

To return a subset of the result, starting from third result, use this syntax:

Query

START n=node(3, 4, 5, 1, 2)
RETURN n
ORDER BY n.name
SKIP 3

The first three nodes are skipped, and only the last two are returned.

Result

n
2 rows, 0 ms
`Node[1]{name->"D"}`
`Node[2]{name->"E"}`

16.12.2. Return middle two

To return a subset of the result, starting from somewhere in the middle, use this syntax:

Query

START n=node(3, 4, 5, 1, 2)
RETURN n
ORDER BY n.name
SKIP 1
LIMIT 2

Two nodes from the middle are returned

Result

n
2 rows, 0 ms
`Node[4]{name->"B"}`
`Node[5]{name->"C"}`
