Hmm,,

thanks so far, it helped.

The query is horrible slow on full tables (>100.000 rows).
Is there any other solution? I just want to have the 'next 10 entries'
WHERE state=10 and update state=20.
(so that on the next request i or another process only gets the 
new entires in queue).


My query now looks like:
UPDATE queue SET state=20 WHERE (id) IN (SELECT id FROM queue LIMIT 10)
