    <blockquote> <p>In SQL, what I would be doing is something like this:</p> <pre><code>SELECT log.*, COUNT(1) numHits FROM Application log GROUP BY Source, Task, Level, Description ORDER BY numHits DESC LIMIT 10 </code></pre> <p>Is it possible to do such a thing using xpath?</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>In case no sorting is necessary, one can get the first <code>$n</code> nodes selected by any XPath expression by</strong>:</p> <pre><code>(ExpressionSelectingNodeSet)[not(position() &gt; $n)] </code></pre> <p>where <code>$n</code> can be substituted by a specific number</p> <p><strong>If there is a requirement that the nodes be sorted on one or more sort-keys, then this is not possible pure XPath, but one can easily perform such tasks with XSLT, using the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#element-sort" rel="nofollow"><code>&lt;xsl:sort&gt;</code></a> instruction and the XPath <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116/#function-position" rel="nofollow"><code>position()</code></a> function</strong>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="/*"&gt; &lt;nums&gt; &lt;xsl:for-each select="num"&gt; &lt;xsl:sort data-type="number" order="descending"/&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="not(position() &gt; 5)"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="."/&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; &lt;/nums&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>When this transformation is applied on the following XML document</strong>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;nums&gt; &lt;num&gt;01&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;02&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;03&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;04&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;05&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;06&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;07&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;08&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;09&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;010&lt;/num&gt; &lt;/nums&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>the correct result, containing only the top 5 numbers is produced</strong>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;nums&gt; &lt;num&gt;010&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;09&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;08&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;07&lt;/num&gt; &lt;num&gt;06&lt;/num&gt; &lt;/nums&gt; </code></pre>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
