Re: [SQL] query to do a backward 'skip' ...thanks, it's working.

hi,

Thanks Tom Lane, Alain Tesio and Hiroshi Inoue for the advise and patch.
I've downloaded the latest snapshot with backward scan optimized (that's ok
as I'm still testing). I'm still thinking (xbase) a lot of go top, go
bottom, skip..skip... :)

>>=> select * from mytable where id < '12345' order by id desc limit 1;

>>- which returned the correct result '12344', but without optimization.

>6.5.* doesn't know how to do that using an index (but 7.0 will).
