Re: SQL for top 100 values

[Ron Rogers]

Deen,  You could try SELECT fields... FROM (SELECT field1 FROM table1 ORDER BY field1) WHERE rownum > 100;  ( the value is 100 less that number of rows returned) That will order the rows returned by the value in the field1 and then give you the row numbers of the returned rows that are greater than 100. Be sure to adjust the query to know how many rows are returned and then get only the last 100. Read about Top-N SQL Queries...
