I have been asked in an interview to write a SQL query which fetches the first three records with highest value on some column from a table. I had written a query which fetched all the records with highest value, but didn’t get how exactly i can get only first three records of those.

Could you help me in this.

Thanks.

    SELECT TOP 3 * FROM Table ORDER BY FieldName DESC

    From here, but might be a little out of date:

    Postgresql:

    SELECT * FROM Table ORDER BY FieldName DESC LIMIT 3

    MS SQL Server:

    SELECT TOP 3 * FROM Table ORDER BY FieldName DESC

    mySQL:

    SELECT * FROM Table ORDER BY FieldName DESC LIMIT 3
