hi,

I have a table with several million rows.
Each row is simply the date and time a certain page was viewed.

eg
page1 1-1-00
page2 2-1-00
page1 16-1-00
page1 17-1-00
page2 19-1-00

I now need to find the most popular pages so I do this...

SELECT TOP 10 COUNT(*) AS mycount FROM tblPageViews
GROUP BY place ORDER BY COUNT(place) DESC

....which gives me the top 10 most viewed pages

big problem - this is getting slower and slower as the table grows and
grows.

what should I do?

is there an alternative?

I think I need all the rows (rather than a simple incrementing
counter) because I might want to say "what was the most popular page
on a certain day or within a certain period"

tia
