Query every liked object using FQL

I'm trying to query every object which the user has liked since joining facebook by running this query:

SELECT user_id, object_id, post_id FROM like WHERE user_id=me()

This query runs fine and returns some results, but the number of them is a lot less than I estimated. I tried it on different, real user accounts, and for a friend of mine who has joined facebook around 2006 the number of returned results is still only around 65.

I tried this query through the official javascript sdk and through the graph api explorer which gave identical results.

The documentation doesn't state any limit imposed upon querying the like table.

Is there anything, I should be aware when doing a query on this table?

Thank you very much!

According to this documentation :

Each query of the stream table is limited to the previous 30 days or 50 posts, whichever is greater, however you can use time-specific fields such as created_time along with FQL operators (such as < or >) to retrieve a much greater range of posts.

Although not explicitly mentioned in the doucmentation for likes, I guess this will be the same limit. So try to add created_time in a where clause.
