Hi List
I have a question regarding a SQL query I am working on.
I have a table named 'tmp_scores', with a column 'rank' and other columns.
Rank varies from 1 to 12. I need to get the top 10 million records based on
the rank.

I have used the logic behind the following query(to get top 4 salaried
employees)

-----
select ename,job,sal from emp e
where 4 > (select count(*) from emp
                      where e.sal<sal)
order by sal;
-----

to get my task accomplished as below:
SELECT a.customer_id,
       a.first_name,
       a.last_name,
       a.carrier_route_code,
       a.unit_designator||'|'||a.street_pre_directional||'|'||
       a.primary_street_number||'|'||a.primary_street_name||'|'||
       a.street_post_directional||'|'||a.secondary_address_number||'|'||
       a.secondary_address_name "Street",
       city,
       a.state_code,
       a.postal_code,
       a.postal_code_extension,
       a.combined_score_demi_decil_rank
FROM   tmp_stg_van_customer_details a
WHERE  10000000 > = (SELECT count(*) FROM
                      tmp_stg_van_customer_details
                      WHERE a.combined_score_demi_decil_rank <
combined_score_demi_decil_rank)
ORDER BY  combined_score_demi_decil_rank;

I have issued the query and it has been running for the last three days
without giving any error.
I am not able to conclude what to do.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
