Alfarees,
To get the first 5 in the order they were added to the database ... select * from tablename limit 5; or, for the 5 topmost, highest value .... select * from tablename where somefield.value > somecriteria order by tablename.somefield limit 5 Now check docs for exact synatx - TOP may be used in place of LIMIT HTH - Miles Thompson PS If you are not familiar with SQL, there are a number of tutorials on the web which will be well worth a couple of hours of your time. The DevShed and WebMonkey sites come to mind. /mt At 07:33 AM 11/18/01 +0000, alfareees alfareees wrote: >how can I take the first 5 records from access xp >by odbc or PHP ? > >_________________________________________________________________ >Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp > > >-- >PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
