Basic question, sorry. Basically, I have a script that creates a MySQL entry each time someone visits the page. A logging script. However, I want to make it autoprune after, say, 100 visits.

For example in pseudo code:

if amount of rows > 100 { delete rows 1+ until amount of rows == 100 }

So in a nutshell, each time a new row is added after 100, it needs to automatically remove the row with the smallest id (My primary key).
