With Oracle, the *only* solution is to issue a query for the whole
resultset and scroll through it - it doesn't support anything
*like* the
LIMIT concept, though I suppose you *could* imitate it with
WHERE ROWNUM
blah.
With Oracle, you can retrieve a part of a result set by using inline
views:
SQL select d.c1,d.c2,d.c3
2 from (select c1,c2,c3,rownum c4 from foo order by c3) d
3 where d.c4 =15 and d.c4 = 19
4 /
C1 C2 C3
115 30 15
116 32 16
117 34 17
118 36 18
119 38 19
Not as elegant as I would like, but it works.

What about the written procedures, the security mappings, the back up and recovery procs, the fallback arrangements, the testing etc. Yes, porting a database that was written for MSSQL with no intention of porting can be a painful proposition. However, if you have control over how the system is developed, you can easily design the system to be compatible with EITHER MSSQL or MySQL (the differeces are well-documented). If you develop your system with porting in mind (ie the original post of they'll develop in SQLServer and port it to MySQL later) porting should not take more than a couple of hours. You simply choose appropriate datatypes and don't use MSSQL-specific extensions... I still don't agree with this. Yes you can ease the passage by considering all the issues up front but it is still not a trivial job for a database of any consequence. There is more to a database than a physical schema - what about all the administration procedures that sit around it, what about tuning the new physical implementation, what about reviewing the access paths and optimisation, what about the redevelopment of data loading scripts. As I have said in another post, it's futile arguing about it because we don't know enough about the technical situation let the business/political one. Are you seriously saying you could sit down in front a reasonably sized DB you had never seen before and understand all the business issues and pick it up and ship to a new RDBMS and platform, rewrite the document, replan what I have stated above, and get it back up and running in two hours? Perhaps I am getting too old and slow but it would take me longer :-) I am not saying it's a huge task to do any of this but whoever said, I could do it in a couple of hours, doesn't understand the background that led to a company quoting E18k; nor do any of us, and for anything other than a very very trivial system, two hours seems inadequate. This is an area that interests me, because I directly bid for work such as this, and when tendering you usually find the bloke down the road working out of his spare bedroom that thinks he can do it for a tenner over one day. The company requesting the work then thinks that everyone else is overinflating their prices so goes cheap and pays for it big time downstream. Cheapest and quickest is rarely best. On the flip side, nor is most expensive. Tricky world init.

Re: user / pwd access to db driven website
Why don't you forget about the automated subscription service and use the phone or email to get the money in. Once you have your 5-10+ subscriptions up and running then you can upgrade properly and then get your shopping cart or whatever. Presumably you'll also want to use a different userID/password per user and track what they are doing so you'll need a completely new set of infrastructure tables and the backend code to maintain them. Another idea if your technical skills aren't yet upto the job would be to put the data onto CD and just send that out to the early customers; the data doesn't sound that volatile and web delivery may not be the best way. All the above would also give you a much earlier idea of whether this will be a success or not. Very few sites that ask for money for information are a success and if just five subscribers will bank roll you a new platform then your prices are clearly not a couple of pence per access.

I really could use some help right now !! I am trying to get a database driven website up and running that has some amount of security on it (which i intend to make progresively better). It needs user/pwd access to a database of info, after a subscription fee is paid. Currently I am having trouble setting up the basic structure. By the way this is a starup company, and only 5- 10 subscriptions would fund much better software / hardware / server for the site. So my goal is to set up something inexpensive to get those 5 or so subscriptions. Attempt No. 1: I setup a test site ( virtual hosting I think it is called) that utilizes perl ms access. It works oK except I didn't get the user/pwd thing working. It has pwd protected directories - however they told me queries will not work with the pwd protected directory insalled. Technical support is very slow in responding. And I didn't figure out how to provide the needed security mentioned above. Currently I have been reading about mysql and just installed it on windows 98. I am open to changing over to linux based systems. However I would like to create the tempory site to get a few subsciptions prior to forking out the funds. So finally now that you guys know my situation can you please make some suggestions as to how to get the temporary site up ( to get 5 subscriptions or so) and I think I coudl painfully, over time, work on a site that could handle much more. Information: The database would be text only, less than 1 GB ! Right now I think it is at 5 MB but will increase. I am familar with perl 5.6 and ms access.
