MS SQL Server does not know the keyword limit. You can send an extra query before your actual query SET ROWCOUNT 5 This will limit all following queryes in the same session to get 5 rows only. On MS SQL Server 7.0 you can also use SELECT TOP 5 * FROM table. This will do the same but only for a single query. - Frank >Hello, > >I have built a backend system with MySQL and ODBC/MySQL >and , in viewing search results, for buttons like Back and Next >I used MySQL specific LIMIT.
