Re: [Exist-open] position() function usage

Hi Claude,
sorry this response has nothing to do with xml... but it could help you 
one day :

in SQL, you can use the "limit" parameter : just add "limit $start $end" 
at the end of your query. Only the results that are between positions 
$start and $end will be returned ;) . And you dont get an error if 
there's less results (mmmmm... I'm not sure in fact, but you shouldnt 
get one)

Good luck,
JC
