cool. sorry, but I'm still learning, since I'm into MySQL from a few time
only!

...can I use the "pos" data in a "WHERE" statment?

something like..

select @a := @a + 1 AS pos, gid from config where pos > 100 and pos <200 ?

(or there is a better way to have a particular subset of data WITHOUT
HAVING ANY INFO ON THE DB STRUCTURE?! I'm trying to have a tool to paging
the query result in a gui structure)

>Another approach would be to select the data into a TEMPORARY TABLE.

how can I do that?

thank you very much again!

bye bye!

                                  MAS!
