If you need a count of something, then 'SELECT COUNT( X ) FROM Y WHERE
Z' to get it, then the query you run into the ibase_query() select can
be filtered to just provide the subset you actually want to display ;)

I tend to run a COUNT, and follow it with a 'SELECT FIRST 10 SKIP X'
based on the results of the count. So a total returned by the query is
not much use :)
