SQL custom limit

I have a calendar application, so I have 开发者_JS百科a table called events with the columns title and startDate. The thing is I want to select the events that are occuring during and after a specified date.

SELECT *
FROM events
WHERE startDate >= date
ORDER BY startDate ASC, title ASC

That's the easy part. Now to the harder part. I want to make a limit to just select the 7 first dates that have events on it. How do I do that?

    SELECT *
    FROM events
    WHERE startDate IN (select distinct startdate from events order by startdate desc limit 0,7)
   AND startDate >= date
    ORDER BY startDate ASC, title AS

Use limit:

SELECT *
FROM events
WHERE startDate >= date
ORDER BY startDate ASC, title ASC
LIMIT 0,7

If you want just to retrive the first 7 dates:

SELECT distinct startDate
FROM events
WHERE startDate >= date
ORDER BY startDate
LIMIT 0,7
