Hey,

Why is ORDER BY in combination with LIMIT not a valid solution to your problem ?

Greetz,

Hi there.

Because if I choose ASC it chooses the first X records, and if I choose DESC it chooses the last X records, but in reverse order. If I use the latter, park it into a compound data structure, there's overhead, so I thought I'd chase up the db to see if there was anything I could solve it with.
