note mpeppler One additional pitfall for most people using a relational database for the first time: there are no record numbers!<p> An RDBMS is based on set theory, and a particular row has no inherent position in its table (although some database systems fake this).<p> Hence the very common question: <i>how do I fetch rows 100-120</i>, where the <i>database independant</i> answer is always: <i>use an appropriate WHERE clause</i>. <p> Michael 162771 162771
