SELECT student_pop, COUNT(*) AS s_count
FROM table
GROUP BY student_pop
I am assuming your table looks like this...
Blah student_pop
------------------------
Blah Towns
Blah Unions
Blah Towns
Blah Towns
Blah Towns
The above query would return...
student_pop s_count
----------------------------
Towns 4
Unions 1
That should get you going in the right direction, you are going to need to
Order the s_count column, and then do a MAXROWS=10 to get the top ten.

What I mean is I do not want to hard code the top ten in. I want Cold
Fusion/Oracle to determine what the top ten are from say a list of 60.

Select top 10 * (or your fields)
FROM table
WHERE blah blah blah and student_pop
in('Towns','Union','White','Fannin','Habersham','Stephens','Rabun','Franklin
','Bibb','Jones')

How do you write a SQL statement that will return the top 10 of something
(eg. top 10 salaries, top ten students by GPA, top ten populated counties,
etc.)?
Currently I have:
and student_pop
in('Towns','Union','White','Fannin','Habersham','Stephens','Rabun','Franklin
','Bibb','Jones')
