Top Function - response (6) by Raja_KT

Hi Ratnam,

Sample mainly for getting samples of row from table or view. We can use SAMPLE n, where n is an integer or can be decimal between 1.00 and 0.00. We can also use SAMPLEID.

TOP n operator shows number of rows or percentage of rows from  result set.

eg : SELECT TOP 10 PERCENT * FROM employee;

You may use Qualify ..row_number()  too to restrict rows.

Cheers,

Raja
