RE: Read past Equivalent in MySQL

[Gordon]

If you can add a table structure why not create a SELECTED table with REPORT
ID and PERSON ID as the 2 field PRIMARY KEY.

Then you could INSERT IGNORE into this table [with no BEGN/COMMIT] and the
IGNORE would throw away those already selected.

In the case of what I'm programming, I need to be able to skip records that 
have been selected by another instance of the program (don't want to send
the 
same person 40 reports with the same content).  Hence why I use flags on the

table to say 'in progress, don't read me'.
