Mysql Offset Endless Strings

I am trying to get all the results for a query, but not the first one, I have the following, but it gives me an error, please help; Thank you

SELECT DISTINCT `memberID` FROM `discusComments` WHERE `topicID` = 4 ORDER BY `id` DESC OFFSET 1 

Answer 1

 SELECT DISTINCT `memberID` FROM `discusComments` WHERE `topicID` = 4 ORDER BY `id` DESC limit 1,x 

where x is a number sufficient to hold all of your records.

or use 18446744073709551615 instead of x, that is, the maximum unsigned bigint value.

Answer 2

Ignore the first line when you get results in your application. This is much neater than using an ugly query like:

 SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 1, 18446744073709551615 

Getting an extra line will not hurt your work.
