| Using MS SQLServer 2000Is there a way to create a query that will return only 1 row within a join for example:select a,b,c,dfrom tbl1inner join tbl2 on top 1 tbl2.a = tbl1.a <-- return only the top record here...I dont have too much of a problem with joins... however I was wondering if there was a mechanism to just specify what would be the top most record from a join clause.thanksKevin |

TOP clause is applicable while projecting data not while joining tables.SELECT TOP 1 *from t1 join t2.... Harsh AthalyeIndia."The IMPOSSIBLE is often UNTRIED" |
