[snip] I want to optimize one of my php scripts to acess mysql only once. Is there anyway to put these two queries together:
SELECT COUNT(*) from TABLE where name="JOHN" SELECT * from TABLE where name="JOHN" limit 10 [/snip] try select *, sum(if(name = 'JOHN', 1, 0)) AS COUNT from table where name = 'JOHN' group by name HTH!
