You can use LIMIT and OFFSET clauses, but all that does is instruct SQLite to throw away the first N rows so you don't have to do it manually. More often than not, what you really want is not "get 100 rows at position N", but "get 100 rows following the rows I've retrieved last time". This can in fact be implemented more efficiently: see http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ScrollingCursor Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
