u hv to use the primary key of the row in the where clause... SELECT * FROM table WHERE primary_key_column=<primary key of the row to retrieve> regds, -----Original Message----- From: Marc Bakker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2003 21:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MySQL: Selecting a patricular row Hello, I am working on a PHP/MySQL/Apache website. I have a MySQL table with 5 rows. I want to select a patricular row using it's absolute row number. How can I do this? I found mysql_row_seek() n te MySQL docs but this requires me to get the whole table and then lets me within the result set select the desired row. That's too much overhead - I want to use SQL to select a particular row using the row number thanks, Marc -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
