LIMIT is used to set a maximum number of records to be returned from a SELECT operation. https://www.w3schools.com/SQL/sql_ref_top.asp BETWEEN is used to filter records having a column value within a specific range. https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_between.asp

BETWEEN can help you fetch a range of values specified within the WHERE clause. LIMIT just let's you display the required number of records, it can be any positive value greater than 0 and less than the total number of records in the table.

With LIMIT you can say how many results you want to get.With BETWEEN you can say that the value e.g. should be greater than 7 and less than 11

Table Student Id | Name --------------- 1 | Jim 2 | Sofia 3 | Maria 4 | Paul 5 | Brad 6 | Chris 7 | Kevin Select * from Student Where Id BETWEEN 2 AND 5; // 2 and 5 are both inclusive. Id | Name --------------- 2 | Sofia 3 | Maria 4 | Paul 5 | Brad Select * from Student LIMIT 3; // Just limits the number of records to be displayed in the result. Id | Name --------------- 1 | Jim 2 | Sofia 3 | Maria
