First thought would be something like:


SELECT          TOP 10 COUNT(PRODUCTID) AS COUNTER, PRODUCTID
FROM            ORDERDETAIL
GROUP BY        PRODUCTID
ORDER BY        COUNTER DESC

There may be something faster, but this works...

Subject: selecting top n records


I need to select the top selling products from a table of lineitems.  Top
selling products would be those whose ID_PRODUCT shows up the most in the
ORDERS_LINEITEMS table.

Any clues from the SQL gurus out there?
