<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">so remove
"desc", in order to have ascending ordering, thus first 5
records are the five oldest:<br>
<br>
select * from t order by record_date limit 5<br>

select * from (select * from t where record_date >=current_date()
- '30 days' order by record_date limit 5) order by record_date desc<br>
<br>
Not tested, but should work... <br>
<br>
