Hello to all.

I have 50 records in database. I have to display top 10 records at run-time.
Now when i add new record it comes at no. 51.
I want that it comes under 10, so that i can display top 10 records from data base. Or if there is any other way to display it then please tell me.

What is the logic you want to be in Top10? last 10 inserted records? Suddenly, out of blues a new record cannot come into top 10, there should be some criteria you must be following to fetch top 10. What is it?

now suppose 1 have already 50 records in the database..nw i add one record of elect., one of accessories and one of stationery.
