Hey Kristina,

I'm no SQL expert but I just did a quick bit of research into this for you and found the following:

"With two arguments, the first argument specifies the offset of the first row to return, and the second specifies the maximum number of rows to return."

So based on the above I believe the correct syntax should be:(?)

SELECT * FROM actors LIMIT 100,100

Let me know how this works for you. :)

Best, Patrick
