Hi, I'm looking for an efficient way to do the following:
"given a column of entries with double values, select the greatest
value less than D", where D is given as the upper bound.
so if I have 0.1, 1.4, 10.11, 5.5 etc. then for D = 5, i should get
1.4.
My current solution stores all entries in an array and sorts them...
which I know is very very very inefficient.

stupid stupid me!:
select * from TABLE where value>0.0 and value<D order by value desc
limit 1;
ok, this works for me. thanks for reading!!!!
