Re: SQL statement to read previous records

[Some of] What has been offered so far, seems to limit the result to
just one previous main-record. Or perhaps intending to suggest that one
could obtain some maximum\constant number of main-records, but then
apparently a result-set inclusive of main-records from prior\unrelated
attr-records.? I do not recall any that returned only\all-of the
previous main-records for a given attr-record.

This is taking passive writing style to an insane level. What I think
you're saying, is that the solutions so far have not allowed for more than
one main record, or that it might pull a record that was not the correct
main record. My answer to that is that the OP defined the issue as one main
record, and that the attributes always followed the main record. Since
there is no key or tie to the main record, we have to follow the rules as
they were stated, and assume that the first previous main record found will
be the correct one.
