Hi experts,

i have one table LP_Articles

CREATE TABLE [LP_Articles] (
[ArticleId] [bigint] NULL ,
[Noofimpression] [bigint] NULL ,
[Topic] [varchar] (50) NULL

)

insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(1,0,'A')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(2,0,'B')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(3,0,'C')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(4,0,'D')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(5,1,'E')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(6,1,'F')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(7,1,'G')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(8,2,'H')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(9,3,'I')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(10,4,'J')
insert into LP_Articles(ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic)values(11,12,'K')

select * from LP_Articles order by Noofimpression desc

we need to display the top 5 articles seperately

Output

------------------------------------------
ArticleId,Noofimpression,Topic, Reference
------------------------------------------
11 12 K 1
10 4 J 1
9 3 I 1
8 2 H 1
7 1 G 1
5 1 E 0
6 1 F 0
1 0 A 0
2 0 B 0
3 0 C 0
4 0 D 0

if you need more clarification i will explain

thanks an advance

So how looks your WANTED output?

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Do you mean you want the top 5 a full list

select top 5 * from LP_Articles order by Noofimpression desc

select * from LP_Articles order by Noofimpression desc
