Get 10 records fro each group

Hi
I have a table that has fromNode, toNode and idGroup columns
I want to return the TOP 3 toNodes for each IDGroup that the FromNode =
1000
E.G. The query would return
fromNode, toNode, idGroup
1000,2001,1
1000,2002,1
1000,2003,1
1000,2004,2
1000,2005,2
1000,2006,2
1000,2013,3
1000,2014,3
1000,2016,4
But I am having trouble comming up with such a query. Can any one help.
SQL code and inserts below.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[memberPathsGroups](
[fromNode] [int] NOT NULL,
[toNode] [int] NOT NULL,
[idGroup] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_memberPathsGroups] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[fromNode] ASC,
[toNode] ASC,
[idGroup] ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2001,1)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2002,1)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2003,1)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2004,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2005,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2006,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2007,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2008,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2009,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2010,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2012,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2013,3)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2014,3)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2015,2)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1000,2016,4)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1001,2001,1)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1001,2010,1)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1001,2012,1)
insert into memberPathsGroups values (1001,2016,2)Here's one way:
SELECT
fromNode,
toNode,
idGroup
FROM dbo.memberPathsGroups mpg
WHERE
mpg.toNode IN
(
SELECT TOP 3
mpg1.toNode
FROM dbo.memberPathsGroups mpg1
WHERE
mpg1.fromNode = mpg.fromNode
AND mpg1.idGroup = mpg.idGroup
ORDER BY mpg1.toNode
)

Generate SQL insert statement fro SQL Server database

Good day,

I have seen in Enterprise manager there is a toll that can script the all tables in a database, but nothing that can generate the insert statements for all the rows in each table in a secified database.

Does any one know of a application, plug in, script that can generate the insert statments for all the tables in a database?

Please someone help, this is driving me insane.

ThanksFound the answer, great sacript.
