Answer 1

Your table will need to be created with a unique ID field that will ideally have the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute. example:

CREATE TABLE Persons
(
P_Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
PRIMARY KEY (P_Id)
)

Then you can access the 3rd record in this table with:

SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE P_Id = 3
