Ever wanted to limit the number of returns you get from a MySQL Query? You want to show all of them, but you'd really like to show them spanning 2 or three or 15 pages for example... After sleeping on the bus, i discovered how to do this fairly easily.

XML has become a common way of storing business data as flat files and many data server vendors including IBM have provided ways to store this data within relational database systems.
