Update order by limit is giving me an error - mysql

Question

I want to update a table using order by and limit. The reason is that I want to offset the first 3 entries. I started by making a query to list what I wanted to update, and that works.
SELECT `Name`,`active`
FROM `tlogon`
WHERE `active`>0 ORDER BY `id` LIMIT 3,18446744073709551610
So I have 8 items in my table and it is showing the last 3 which is correct, because 2 of the rows have an active of zero. So then I tried to turn my select into an update like this.
UPDATE `tlogon` SET `active`=3
WHERE `active`>0 ORDER BY `id` LIMIT 3,18446744073709551610
The idea here is that it gets a list of active and ignores the first 3, and then I only want to update after the first three. However the above code gives an error in phpmyadmin.
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '18446744073709551610' at line 2
So my question is. Why does my select work, but my update query fail?
EDIT
Ok I have tried something else, but again I have failed. My id is autoincrementing so I tried the following code
UPDATE `tlogon` SET `active`=3
Where `id`>=(
SELECT `id`
FROM `tlogon`
WHERE `active`>0 ORDER BY `id` LIMIT 3,1
)
Now it works in simulation, but the problem when I do it for real I get this error.
#1093 - You can't specify target table 'tlogon' for update in FROM clause
Which is annoying because what I am doing is getting the first id above my limit and changing them, but again I have failed.
So then I thought about a Right Join like this
UPDATE `tlogon` AS `a`
RIGHT JOIN `tlogon` AS `b` ON `a`.`id`>`b`.`id`
SET `a`.`active`=3
WHERE (
SELECT `id`
FROM `b`
WHERE `tlogon`.`active`>0 ORDER BY `tlogon`.`id` LIMIT 3,1
)
But I think I am doing something wrong because now it is telling me that table b does not exist.

Answer 1

The UPDATE statement does not support an offset for LIMIT, only the number of rows to update.
Its syntax is:
UPDATE [LOW_PRIORITY] [IGNORE] table_reference
SET col_name={expr | DEFAULT},
[, col_name={expr | DEFAULT}] ...
[WHERE where_condition]
[ORDER BY ...]
[LIMIT row_count]
You need to find another way to ignore the first 3 rows.

Answer 2

Ok I have an answer, but it only works if you are using an auto incrementing id.
UPDATE `tlogon` AS `a`
INNER JOIN
(SELECT `id`
FROM `tlogon`
WHERE `active`>0 ORDER BY `id` LIMIT 3,1) as b ON `a`.`id` >= `b`.`id`
SET `a`.`active`=3
because you cannot reference the same table with the select I ended up using an inner join to the same table.
Basically I am getting the next highest id in my where clause and only changing active if the id is higher. Thus the first 3 entries will be ignored and the rest will be changed to 3, which is what I wanted.
