Many of the DBMS's allow you to choose which row to fetch.
Eg with MySQL, you can use mysql_data_seek() (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-data-seek.php)
Similar equivilents exist for ODBC, MS SQL etc.
Eg: odbc_fetch_row($result, $rownumber);
What is it about row 5 for example that is special ? You should be using the
DBMS to choose the rows ... the WHERE clause of a select is very powerful,
and you could be overlooking something there?
