How are these items identified as "items 10 to 30" in the table? Does that mean that when you SELECT * FROM the table, those are the items that are displayed in rows 10-30? If so, you shouldn't depend on them being as such. It's much better to always have an "ORDER BY fieldname" clause in your query. At any rate, though, you can specify a range with "LIMIT offset,numrows", such as this: SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY field1 LIMIT 10; (selects rows 1-10) SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY field1 LIMIT 10,20; (selects rows 11-20) SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY field1 LIMIT 20,30; (selects rows 21-30) SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY field1 LIMIT 9,20; (selects rows 10-30) -- denonymous www.coldcircuit.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
