You could use a seq# for each person.  When inserting the record do a select
on max seq# to obtain the highest # used for that individual, increment that
#, insert the new record, then delete where seq# <= newnumber - x and person
= logged in person.

> I'm having trouble coming up with a query to select/delete the oldest
entry
