Thanks. That's good to know about LIMIT being specific to MySQL.

Larry,

The LIMIT feature isn't a part of the mysql_query() routine.  It's a 
non-standard keyword that's allowed in SQL statements in MySQL. 
Anywhere that you can run SQL SELECT statements against a MySQL 
database, you can use the LIMIT keyword.

IBM DB2 does not support a LIMIT keyword.  This has nothing whatsoever 
to do with PHP, it has to do with the IBM DB2 database vs. the MySQL 
database.

You can certainly use MySQL from PHP on i.  You can even use it with the

IBMDB2I storage engine for MySQL to let MySQL query a Physical File.

There are ways of achieving similar functionality via DB2 SQL statments,

but they aren't as simple or elegant.  We've had several discussions 
about them in forums in the past... you might try searching the
archives.
