BETWEEN will likely be found in the WHERE clause. It sets a condition or filter for your data. For example: SELECT * FROM tableA WHERE date BETWEEN '2016-01-01' AND '2016-12-31' This will only include records in tableA that have a date between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2016. LIMIT is a separate clause that limits the number of records returned by your query. For example: SELECT * FROM tableA LIMIT 10 This will return only 10 records based on their order in the table. Use ORDER BY to sort based on a field and then use LIMIT 'x' to select the top or bottom 'x' number of records based on your ordering.

of course not. Between is condition. You can write select * from user where age between 18 and 20 limit 10 you select 10 users which age is between 18 and 20.

Limit and Between are not same Limit restricts the number of records that satisfies the condition to a particular value. Between prints the records within the given boundaries

no both are different, between can be used to select or filter the data with in a certain range where as limit can restrict the selected data using a limit value
