Hi all,

I have one view named 'dshb_mcr_glob_we_time_v3'. In this view, I have 'perd_id' column. This column datatype is number. I want to get top four ids as a output. Can anyone please send me the query for that?

Thanks & Regards,
Raghu.

Analytic function row_number() would solve your problem.

I think below query can be used.
I have not tested it.

SELECT   *
FROM (SELECT perd_id, ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY perd_id DESC) rn
      FROM dshb_mcr_glob_we_time_v3)
WHERE rn <= 3
ORDER BY perd_id DESC



Thanks,

With rn<=3 I doubt you get 4 rows.

Once again, your post don't add anything to previous ones but errors.
First give clue (but this one has already been given)
Then, if OP shows what he tried and couldn't get it, post a solution, a tested solution, a working solution.
But do not be rude agains others ignoring their posts.

Regards
Michel
