Hi, I’m trying to teach myself to write queries in SQL. I’m working my way through the commands in a tutorial by playing around with a free small database I found online. I’m using OpenOffice instead of Access. So far things have been fine with the exception of two commands. I can’t get the TOP command or the [charlist] wildcard to work. Does open office use some specialized variant of SQL? I tried the MySql variant for TOP to no avail.

Anyways, I realize I may just be making newbie errors, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, first post. Great site!
