Subject: CFQUERY and STARTROW=0 (??!)


Hi all,

I was looking up some stuff on joins versus unions, and came across an
opinion that used CFQUERY as an example. (I won't post the url since I
don't know if it's kosher here.)

However, under this person's tutorial topic called "Limiting Results" it
used this code:

<CFQUERY DATASOURCE = "Friends" Name = "Query1" Maxrows = "10" Startrow
= "0">

followed by the comment:

"Note that the starting row is set at 0. Remember that computers start
numbering at 0, not 1.
So the first record in the database is record number 0."

-------

Now, I understand offsets, et cetera, but I've never heard it used
regarding cfquery (or any other sql query for that matter -- I couldn't
even find another mention of startrow=0 anywhere in google or
altavista for any major sql platform...).

And obviously, I've never had a problem with using startrow=1 missing
the first record of a query return set.

Has anyone else ever used startrow=0 in *any* sql platform, is it
practical/standardized, or is this guy just telling people to do things
the
way he thinks they should be?

Inquiring minds (at least one) want to know...

Tom
