Good afternoon List,

When querying my database I get unexpected results in using the CHAR and 
LIMIT functions.

About the CHAR(a,t) function. The help explains "CHAR(a,t) is a function 
(conversion function 
<../../48/b4e428c0ca11d2a97100a0c9449261/content.htm>) that converts the 
date values <../../03/50880883c411d4bb3a00508b5d5211/content.htm>, time 
values <../../03/50880b83c411d4bb3a00508b5d5211/content.htm>, or 
timestamp values <../../03/50880e83c411d4bb3a00508b5d5211/content.htm> 
to a character string".

SELECT CHAR(MYTIMESTAMPENTRY) AS STRDATE FROM MYTABLE     works fine.
SELECT CHAR(MYTIMESTAMPENTRY,'YYYY-MM-DD') AS STRDATE FROM MYTABLE     
doesn't work. I get the following error message : Syntax error or access 
violation;-5015 POS(31) Missing keyword


About the limit function. I've read a post about that but there was no 
answer. According to the documentation I could use the limit function 
that way : LIMIT nbrows offset.

SELECT * FROM MYTABLE ORDER BY NAME LIMIT 100   works fine. It sends the 
100 first names contained by MYTABLE in alphabetical order.
SELECT * FROM MYTABLE ORDER BY NAME LIMIT 100 10 sends the 110 first 
names contained by MYTABLE in alphabetical order instead of sending 100 
names from the 10th.


Any idea about those problems ?
Kind regards
Xavier.
