Hi, I am trying to find out how to get the next record according to a particular index. I have a table with a name field and a serial field. The name field isn't unique so I made an index on name(varchar) & serialno(bigserial). I also have an index just on 'name'. I am having trouble working out the syntax for the query. select * from table where name>='jack' and serialno!='2' order by name,serialno; I don't think this will work under all circumstances. Any help appreciated. Thanks. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
