I am not sure I understand your question, I thought the line you showed would give proper results (100 total-ordered lines) but maybe :
So there is a similar thread running now, Re: SQL Select Idea [ORDER BY] by Michael, he says creating a temporary table is the way to go : "create temporary table top100 select * from mytable limit 100; select * from top100 order by total desc;" I don't know if you need to erase the temporary table or if it's automatic once the query has been processed, but I wonder if there is another way to do that in one command.. anyone? > -----Message d'origine----- > How can I limit the result after the "order by" has > been executed?
