Well, here’s a solution to get a number of records that works like the “limit” function that can be found in MsSQL

SELECT col FROM (
   SELECT top 50 * FROM (
      SELECT top 200 * FROM tbl1
      WHERE col > 1 ) ORDER BY col
   ) AS newtbl1 ORDER BY coldesc
) AS newtbl2 ORDER BY col ASC

Note that there is a similiar limit function in MSSQL 2k5 called “rownumber” which makes returning the desired results a lot easier. ;/
