RE: [PHP-DB] ms sql limit equivalence
Thanks! I was going to write and say that I have been using ADODB but was unable to make the SelectLimit function work using MS SQL, but I decided to take a look at my setup one more time. I have setup my own abstraction layer on top of ADODB so that I can override some of the default functions and or adjust them as need be, but it appears that when I wrote the interface to the SelectLimit function I neglected to send the $nrows and $offset values to ADODB. It is now fixed and working nicely. Thanks again for the advice. Dean -Original Message- From: John W.

Re: [PHP-DB] ms sql limit equivalence
i forget exactly how to use it, but look up TOP. although it does not perform like LIMIT. hth Jeff "Grant, Dean (OIT)" To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: b.ca>Subject: [PHP-DB] ms sql limit equivalence 01/23/2003 05:47 PM Hi, I am just joining this list so if this has been covered in the past I apologize. I am working with MS SQL and would like the functionality that MySQL's limit function provides. I understand that MS SQL has no such command or equivalent.
