But, the problem is that when I do that the X and the Y in "LIMIT X , Y" won't be X=0,Y=5 or X=5,Y=5 or X=10,Y=5 and so on...
So, my question is: how can I do what I did above in PHP and SQL (MySQL) ?
Sorry for my english and, thanks in advance
You're getting the LIMIT clauses wrong. it's OFFSET,QUANTITY. Your sample queries are fetching 5 records at a time, so the QUANTITY would be 5 at all times, and you'd increment the offset by 5 for each "page" of results.
Top 5 songs/albums: LIMIT 0,5
Top 6-10 songs/album: LIMIT 5,5
Top 11-15 songs/albums: LIMIT 10,5
etc...
Here's my quick stab at your question, but I'm making some huge assumptions.
I believe that you want all albums and singles listed in the order of release and you want to show 5 per "page". Assuming that, this query should work. Long term I would turn this into a view.
SELECT "Name", "Date Released"
FROM (
SELECT "Album ID" as "Name", "Date Released" FROM Albums
UNION ALL
SELECT "Song Name" as "Name", "Date Released" FROM Songs WHERE "Album ID" IS NULL
) as AlbumsAndSingles
ORDER BY "Date Released" ASC
LIMIT X,5
Then, starting with 0, increment X in the query above by 5 on each page.
