hi,

just to be sure I understand the concern correctly:
in the Advanced Search bar you type something like "select <columns> from <table> where <conditions> and/or <chunks>" ?
Or was Angus just refering to the use of the relational operators ?
Because I am not sure whether we could use select top ... or select ... rownum. Could we ?
Thanks lightening the dark.

Slightly off-topic, but for sql statements...

SQL Server:
select top 100 a,b,c from x where y = z

Oracle:
select a,b,c from x where y = z having rownum < 100

Please accept my apologies as I remember it being there.  I just checked
again and could not find it.  This is sad.

However, it is possible to use the User Preferences form to set this
value for a particular user.  Otherwise, you would have to set this
value for the entire server.  I don't think it is possible to set a
limit to the number of returned items in an SQL statement other than
careful selection of the WHERE portion of the SELECT statement.

There does not appear to be a way to restrict number of records returned
in the user tool.

   Agnus:

   Yes.  Check out the advanced tab for user options.  If you want to
   do this at the database level, I don't know of a method to do this
   other than a really refined query.

   If I go into user tool and do an advanced search I can use SQL type
   syntax.
   But is there any means of restricting the number of records
   returned.  Eg the first 100?
