If you're running Oracle8i,
you can do this:
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT * FROM my_table ORDER BY col_name_1
DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM < 10;
Use this workaround with prior releases:
SELECT *
FROM my_table a
WHERE 10 >= (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT maxcol)
FROM my_table b
WHERE b.maxcol >= a.maxcol)
ORDER BY maxcol DESC
;
Hope this helps!
