Good grief!

Here's me publishing war-n-peace to solve a problem that takes 4 lines of code...that's the last time I go out both nights at the weekend!! ;)

Please ignore my overly-engineered email when it finally arrives...

Hi,

Try this query:

select customer,sales
from tablea x
where 3 > (select count(*) from tablea y where y.sales > x.sales) order by x.sales desc;
