Hi,

Would this be the best way, if I was to run query to
obtain first 2 records of each category from the
database.  The database could contain literally 100s
of 1000s of records.

select t1.field1, t2.field2 as CommonFld from table1
t1, table2 t2 where t1.keyfield = t2.keyfield and
t1.field1 = 'AAA' limit 2
UNION
select t1.field1, t2.field2 as CommonFld from table1
t1, table2 t2 where t1.keyfield = t2.keyfield and
t1.field1 = 'BBB' limit 2
ORDER BY CommonFld Desc


regards
