[PHP3] SQL: count / limited group? From: Dieter Kneffel (data <email protected>)
Date: 05/15/00

currently, I am using this query to get the most used names in a
complete (MySQL) database.

$select = "select COUNT(name) as top ,name from table group by name
order by top desc"; 

--

here's the task: I only want to get the most used names from e.g. the
last 100 rows.
(and just ignore the other, older entries in the db)

how do I have to modify the above select? Is it possible in one query,
do I have
to use sub-selects (could be a problem with mysql?!), or what other
options do I have?

tnx,

dieter
