This good for giving me the next recorded but it will not give me the prev recorded that is the one I am having problems with
You actually do want to use the limit clause, but use 2 parameters. The first number is which record you want to start at, the second is how many records you want. So limit 2,1 will give you the second record. It's the same query every time, you're just incrementing the first number of the limit clause. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Kurth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <mysql@lists.mysql.com> Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 1:15 AM Subject: finding next and prev record in mysql > How would I find the next id and the prev id in sql statement like the one > below.
