Is there some way to take the following 2 queries & make them into one ? I want to be able to in one query get the # of overall rows and do a LIMITed result set to get the first NN rows. Is it possible to to do this in one query ? Presumable MySQL has to figure out what the overall # is to return the limited result set so it'd be more efficient to do this all at once. thanks, - Sam.
