I tried that Limit applies to the total number of results from a
query, what I want to do is limit the total number of returns per
result set,
For example if my query returns a set of items such as id, foo,bar
Normally the result set is 3 set of records one with 3 entries, one with
2 entires and one with entry, the results would be.
1 xx,yy
2 xx,yy
3 xx,yy
1,dd,zz
2,dd,zz
1, ee,ff
If I am only interested in get 2 entries per result set, I would expect
to see
1 xx,yy
2 xx,yy
1,dd,zz
2,dd,zz
1, ee,ff
Using LIMIT only gives
1 xx,yy
2 xx,yy
Sorry for not explaining it very, I want to limit the size of an
inviduail set of records which is part of set of records.
