How to retrieve all records after one with an ID in symfony?

Question

Let\'s say I have a table that I sort alphabetically in symfony. Each item has a rather random id and I\'d like to retrieve all items after a certain ID. For example:

Answer 1

SELECT *
FROM tbl1
WHERE name > (
  SELECT name
  FROM tbl1
  WHERE id = 3
)
ORDER BY name

(runs at least with Postgres and with Just Aguy's SQL Fiddle)

Answer 2

Here is a SQLFiddle that shows this working. The query is simple, just do some matching on the first letter. I don't like the idea of the hardcoded value of 3 being there. Is there a process that's going to set the value of the id?

    select name from tbl1 
    where (Left(name,1)) > (select Left(name,1) 
                        from tbl1 where id = 3)
    order by name asc
