howdy all, I was wondering if you could help me, I have a perl script that executes a SQL statement:
'SELECT prop_rank FROM main ORDER BY prop_rank DESC' This returns many records but all i am interested in is the highest rank hence the 'ORDER BY prop_rank DESC'. I then retreive the highest rank like so: $rank = $sth1->fetchrow_array(); Now, my question is this: is this the right way to retreive just 1 record, using fetchrow_array(); ??? or is there a more acceptable way. This does work, its just the 'array()' part is making me a little uneasy. Thank you all for you wisdom, Anadi _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
