Not surprising

As for getting the wrong values back when using this technique in MySQL: either I got very lucky very often, or I used to know a way to make sure you got the right thing back, which I have since forgotten. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Depending on the implementation, if you were trying it in an example like the above on a table that had been filled in sequentially, it might frequently pick the minimum row. So it would look like it was doing something, even when it wasn't.

I'll chalk that up as "something I may have gotten away with". It wouldn't be the only thing. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
