Hello! Bastian Balthazar Bux, Pooly, Shawn Green, Peter Brawley, I thank you all! In fact, I don't understand why this command is not standardized (ANSI SQL, etc.). -- Удачи!

LIMIT alternative
Hello! I've heard that LIMIT is a MySQL specific, and cannot be used in any other DBMS. Is there any portable alternative to LIMIT? I'd like to create a portable PHP pager for a web site, but all the tutorials that I've found, contain solutions based on the LIMIT usage. Thanks! -- Good Luck!

FTFM : For compatibility with PostgreSQL, MySQL also supports the LIMIT row_count OFFSET offset syntax. but if you want to be fully compatible with many others RDBMS, go for something like adodb, or some others DB interface in PHP Thanks! -- Good Luck!

Re: LIMIT alternative
Vladimir, Is there any portable alternative to LIMIT? I'd like to create a portable PHP pager for a web site ... No, there's not a 'super SQL' which all SQL engines understand. To hide the details of LIMIT | TOP from your apps, you can write a PHP funcion which applies or updates the appropriate LIMIT | TOP clause in a given query, depending on what the DBMS is. If you are writing against MySQL 5.0.2 or later, you might alternatively write MSSQL and MySQL stored procs for that task. PB - Vladimir B. Tsarkov wrote: Hello!
