ASP/MS SQL - Select only the first 3 records using SQL
Hi guys,

I have a basic news system on my site. Anyway I was to display on the 3 most recent threads on the home page. I'm not sure how to do a select is MS SQL do to this?

At the moment I use:

"Select * from news order by articledate"

Which pulls all the news articles. I want to limit it to pull only the 3 latest news articles? Anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

James
