Thanks Simon.

I have a further question on this topic.

I would like to find out where my user ranks amongst all scores - so I want to

SELECT name, score FROM scoreTable WHERE id=x

And then I wish to know how many rows occur before the one where user=myuser.

I can loop through them in code, but it seems like this is intermediate data 
SQLite might be able to get quicker?
