Thanks i think this we gonna do (is a good ideea)
We need this function implemented or emulated , have some db functions that works
on mssql, mysql , and now we implement them for firebird .
It is something like ADOdb and the query must run on all db types
Yah ms-sql doesn't have "first x skip y" .. yuck ( but they have xml ;))
