Aasim Abdullah is working as SQL Server DBA with CureMD (www.curemd.com) based in NY, USA. He has been working with SQL Server since 2007 (Version 2005) and has used it in many projects as a developer, administrator, database designer. Aasim's primary interest is SQL Server performance tuning. If he finds the time, he like to sketch faces with graphite pencils.

The TOP clause is commonly used to get the top required rows from a result set. The beauty of this clause is that it can be used with the WITH TIES clause to retrieve all similar rows to a base result set.
