Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Database Access / July 2008Select in SQL server
Can someone explain this ( Select TOP 40 * ) in plain english ? SELECT TOP 40 *, convert(varchar, CreateDate, 101) AS ShortDate SELECT TOP 40 = select data from first 40 rows only Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ SQL Server BOL is your friend..... [i]The TOP clause limits the number of rows returned in the result set. TOP n [PERCENT] n specifies how many rows are returned. If PERCENT is not specified, n is the number of rows to return. If PERCENT is specified, n is the percentage of the result set rows to return: TOP 120 /*Return the top 120 rows of the result set. */ TOP 15 PERCENT /* Return the top 15% of the result set. */. If a SELECT statement that includes TOP also has an ORDER BY clause, the rows to be returned are selected from the ordered result set. The entire result set is built in the specified order and the top n rows in the ordered result set are returned.[/i] Phil Niceeee... Thank dudes. Niceeee... Thank dudes. |
