Hi, I have an SQL question. The following syntax is used in a MSDN example for retrieving a certain range of records from a table, so that data can be loaded into a DataGridView as a when is is needed for performance reasons:-
Select Top <n> * From PATIENTS WHERE PATIENT_PK NOT IN (SELECT TOP <n> PATIENT_PK From PATIENTS Order By PATIENT_PK) Order By PATIENT_PK It would appear that the "TOP" syntax is not supported by SQLite (maybe just a Microsoft thing?). However is there an alternative? i.e. How can I achieve what the example SQL syntax above is doing? Can I do this with SQLite at all? Basically, when the above statement is run on access it takes 2-3 minutes on a database containing 10,000 records. We are now thinking of switching maybe to SQLite as we hope to get better storage efficiency and performance. However we will need to be able to execute a query similar to the one above. Thanks in advance for any help.
