When executing this query below it takes too long. And the result is too much records, more than possibly in the database. The query should return around 117.000 records. That is the amount of records enterred into the database during a period of half a year.

Why is this query multiplying, resulting in millions of records? If someone could give me the clu where I'm stuck, I'll be very happy.

ORDER BY reportdate DESC

Thanks in advance,
