syntax

[Paul Sullivan]

Heres what I'm running:

mysql-3.21.19-21.
Database with one table containing 2000+ entries.


What I need to do:

On a selection with search criteria for two matching column items (i.e.
CATEGORY and ID), I would like to return, a certain range of matching
items.  So for example, I run a select statement for those two matching
columns, and it returns 515 matching column items.  Now out of the returned
515, I only want the db client to return matchs 1 through 20 or 21 through
40, and so on. I know i could easily accomplish this script side (using
perl + mod DBI) with some limited sorting, but that eats up alot of memory
to narrow down 515 to a specific range.  I was hoping that there were some
available function or call that would work.

Any suggestions anyone may have, are appreciated.


Thanks for your time.
