Whoa. Watch out. You can omit columns from a GROUP BY (even for MySQL's extension) only if those are otherwise unique for the columns that are grouped. In this example, this query can return pretty unpredictable stuff (as I found out myself yesterday when I accidentally left out a non-unique column in a query..) There is no reliable way to do what Christian wants except to do one query per value that he wants 10 rows for, with each query set to LIMIT 10. -- Shankar. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
