If this is the best answer your database software will let you come up with, it's time to switch databases :-) Fortunately, the databases that don't do "LIMIT" have this nifty thing called "CURSOR" which lets you kind of do the same thing. At least, all the databases I know of. Maybe something really stupid and broken like MS Access or something that doesn't even claim to do SQL like, errrr, FileMaker??? Even there, I'll bet there's some better answer than pulling all the rows down just to display a tiny fraction of them. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
