Hi,

How would I find the next id and the prev id in sql statement like the one
below. The id number is not going to be in order so I can't do a < or >
limit 1 on the search
SELECT id FROM contacts WHERE category = '5' AND subcategory = '1' AND
members_id= '8' ORDER BY lastname


I wrote about some solutions that work for me, here:

I don't know if you need to do this without subqueries or not, but the methods I explain work on MySQL 3.23.

I hope that helps.
