SELECT TOP 10 Event.RO_No,Min(Event.DateTime) AS LastUpdate FROM Event GROUP BY Event.RO_No ORDER BY MIN(Event.Datetime)So, this returns something like this:
Ro_No DateTime 1 2007-12-17 14:41:25.704 3 2007-12-17 14:42:25.704 7 2007-12-17 14:43:25.704 22 2007-12-18 15:41:25.704 23 2007-12-19 16:41:25.704 24 2008-12-20 07:41:25.704 25 2009-12-17 08:41:25.704 46 2009-12-17 05:41:25.704 48 2009-12-18 05:41:25.704 49 2009-12-19 14:41:25.704From that SQL, I need to establish a relation into the RO table. This is accomplished by doing this:
SELECT RO.FirstName FROM (SELECT TOP 10 Event.RO_No,Min(Event.DateTime) AS LastUpdate FROM Event GROUP BY Event.RO_No ORDER BY MIN(Event.Datetime)) Temp INNER JOIN RO ON Temp.RO_No=RO.RO_NoSo far so good, now the problem I am facing is that this log contains some old archive. So, not all RO_No are present in the RO table. Basically, the RO table is containing some recent records only. But, I need to start from the log. So, the goal here is trying to know if it is possible to make sure to collect the first 10 records which would also be records that exist in RO.
