Best Practice for Ranking

Looking for advise or best practice for ranking of top 10 companies (out of 100s) for aggregates on a shipping comparitive value (tonnage). Would like to make each of the top 10 companies a column with values broken down by region (rows). I also need a column for a single chosen company (not necessarily top 10), and another column for that company's percentage of market share.

I'd like to utilize our data cube in a matrix, but can't solve how to add the last two columns above. We have the option of using the cube or the transactional db. Any advice is helpful, thanks.

One option would be to use the sort number 1-10 as your grouping key and have your report dataset based on a union of the 1-10 dataset, the 11 extra column dataset, and 12 extra column dataset. Then do a Matrix to line it up.|||Thanks, we'll give this a try.

Best license program

I have a small company and i make online ERP software in ASP.NET for small
companies. Companies with one server en a maximum of 10 concurrent users.
What SQL server license should i advice for these companies? And how much
does it costs?
I've tried to understand the documents on the microsoft site but i did not
find an satisfying answer.
Thanks in advance.
RonaldIf your database won't be bigger than 2 GB, you can use MSDE which is free.
Otherwise the best is to use Standard Edition with per seat licensing if
your client don't have more than 25 users (not concurrent users, you need a
license for everyone who uses the server), or Standard Edition with a
processor license if there are more than 25 users.
