The other thing you are not thinking about is that you never know the order of 
data in a set.  You may think that you want the 5th record that was ever 
inserted into the table, but you have no guarantee that a select statement will 
return records in the order in which they were inserted.  The 5th oldest record 
could come up first in the result set, or last, or anywhere else.

So, you either have to walk through the set from the beginning, checking every 
record to see if it's the one you want, or you're going to have to build a more 
precise select statement.
