Hola buenas,

Tengo que hacer una consulta y contar los registros mostrados de unos 20000 registros pero quiero expluir unos cuantos, habría otra mejor manera?

$count_alta = mssql_num_rows($consulta);

El problema es si tuviera que excluir de la consulta 15000 registros como ejemplo.
Muchísimas gracias.
