>>I need to get the last 10 records of a table based on a condition. However, that table is pretty big and I don't want to use the TOP 10 clause as it will take too long. What type of approach can I use which would be the best? I am looking for a SQL approach. If that is not possible then I'll consider using code.

Yes, that'd be another approach we could consider assuming we would implement such need in another option. Thanks for the feedback
