It dependes, if you want the top 10, or the first 10 sql. In the first situation you have to do a specific query (maybe using analytic functions) , to get them. This is a query and will be almost always different to any other sql, because it depends in you table and database structure. Now about the first 10 sql, you have a hint to ask the database get only the first 10 and send to you as soon as possible /*+ FIRST_ROWS(10) */ Out of that hint, I think you will not find a standard, because every query is very specific. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Richard" <mrichard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 9:27 PM Subject: Re: query for top 10 sql? > > > > > Ryan, > > "Top ten" what?
