SQL Server 2008: Unexpected results using SELECT TOP?

The rows with id 3 and 4 have a tie when ordered by the comments_count column. Standard SQL says that it's up to the vendor implementation to determine sort order if there's a tie or if you don't specify any ORDER BY clause.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
