Remember, the order of rows returned from a SELECT, even one with a LIMIT clause, is undefined, so the "first 2 rows" may not be consistently the same. If you are dependent upon the rows being returned in a particular order (say by "rowid"), you should include an ORDER BY clause on your SELECT to ensure the rows are returned in the order you require.
