I think it shows quite clearly there is a difference betwen maxrows and the MS SQL Server LIMIT clause. Have you proof to the contrary? @Allen: Have you tried my example code?

For MS SQL Server, use <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189463(SQL.90).aspx" rel="nofollow">TOP</a>. For PostgreSQL, use <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/sql-select.html#SQL-LIMIT" rel="nofollow">LIMIT</a>. For other databases check their manuals.

For example, I thought when using MS SQL server that in doing a query like "select top 7 * from someTable" that it was select all records in that table, only it returned 7 to you.
