Hi,
I am using the following query,
select t.range as [score range], count(*) as [number of occurences]
from (
select case
    when answer_count between 0 and 5 then ' 0- 9'
    when answer_count between 5 and 10 then '10-19'
    else '20-99' end as range
from points where type='product_quiz') t
group by t.range
The output is,
score range    number of occurences
10-19                  121327
0- 9                    129195
Now i need to create index for the resultened query and then i need to print only the number of occurences as,
number of occurences
129195
121327
Please help me how to achieve this using index instead of using while loop

Use ORDER BY. t.range should be ok.

Did you try ORDER BY?

Hi,

Using orderby also i never get the expected result.
Because from the resultened output i need to display only 129195 from number of occurences column..

Thanks,

So which do you want in your output, one row or two?
If you want only one row, what are the rules for deciding which row to return?

only the single column value "129195" from the resulting query

This will work, but I suspect it's not what you're looking for. So are you going to share the business rules with us, or wait for us to get bored of guessing? Remember, we can't see what's on your screen and we're not familiar with your application.
SELECT 129195 AS [number of occurences]

You can try this
select TOP 1 count(*) as [number of occurences] from ( select case when answer_count between 0 and 5 then ' 0- 9' when answer_count between 5 and 10 then '10-19' else '20-99' end as range from points where type='product_quiz') t group by t.range order by count(*) desc
