Sql Grouping - Show Only 5 Comments Per Post
To make thing easier to understand lets take the following example: I want to show only the top 5 comments for a specific post (Like the post on facebook where people cant comment
Solution 1:
select
*
FROM
tblPost P
OUTER APPLY
(SELECT TOP 5 * FROM tblComment C
WHERE P.id = C.postid
ORDER BY something) inline
Solution 2:
Try using ROW_NUMBER, assuming you are using a database that supports it:
SELECT id, postid
FROM tblComment
(
SELECT
id,
postid,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY postid ORDER BY id DESC) AS rn
FROM tblComment
) AS T1
WHERE rn <= 5
