Hi,

I need to retrieve only top 1000 (sales) records from a view. The total size of the view is 1.3 TB. When I tried this, it took more than 2 hour. But earlier the same query was taking only 10 minutes.

My query was

     1. sel top 1000 * from employee

OR

     2. sel * from employee
        qualify rank() over (order by employee_number) =1000;

Please let me know,why its taking so much of time and is there any alternative way to write a query to improve the performance.

Thanks

veda
