I am creating an application that gets the value of a large table and write
it to a file.

Why I want to use offset and limit is for me to create a threaded
application so that they will not get the same results.

For example:

Thread 1 : gets offset 0 limit 5000
Thread 2 : gets offset 5000 limit 5000
Thread 3 : gets offset 10000 limit 5000

And so on...

Would there be any other faster way than what It thought?

	Why do you want to use it this way ?
	Explain what you want to do, there probably is another faster
solution...
