Re: sql in php with paging

I would love to be able to use LIMIT and OFFSET but from what I have
read so far, it is not possible with DB2.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] sql in php with paging

We've done most of the things suggested in the other messages, we've
written record-level access RPG stored procedures, we've even returned
the entire result set and just rendered the rows we want (for small
result sets only).

What I'm wondering is, will mySQL with the DB2 storage engine let us
use the mySQL LIMIT clause?

I have written a php script that displays a list of individuals. The

script uses paging with 20 results per screen and searching is allowed
on the name field or id number. I am having an issue coding a case
insensitive search. Here is an example of my sql that works but is not
case insensitive:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(order by name) AS rownum, id,

name, address, city, state, zip FROM testlib.mastfile where (name like
'%Brooks%' or id = 0)) AS col WHERE rownum BETWEEN 21 and 40

The above code gives me records 21-40 based on the selection and sort.

Here is how I changed the code to allow for case insensitive searching:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(order by name) AS rownum, id,

name, address, city, state, zip FROM testlib.mastfile where
(upper(name) like upper('%Brooks%') or id = 0)) AS col WHERE rownum
BETWEEN 21 and 40

I do not receive any results back from the code above. I have testes

the following and it works properly:

SELECT * from testlib.mastfile where upper(name) like

upper('%brooks%')

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am fairly new to sql so I may just

be overlooking the obvious.

TIA
