Re: Approach to extract top records from table based upon aggregate

Hi, I have a table that contains call records.  I'm looking to get only
records for users who made the most calls over a particular time duration in
an efficient way.

calls()

time,  duration,   caller_number, dialed_number



-- query to get top 10 callers
  select caller_number, count(1) from calls group by caller_number order by
calls desc limit 10

--my current query to get those callers

select * from call where caller_number in (above query)


It works but I was hoping for something a little more efficient if anyone
has an idea.
