I'm trying to find the user with the most upvotes from SE's data explorer: https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/105658

SELECT
  Users.DisplayName as TheUser,
  COUNT(Votes.Id) as TheUpvotes
FROM
  Votes,
  Users
WHERE
    Votes.VoteTypeId=2
  AND
    Votes.UserId=Users.Id
GROUP BY
  Users.DisplayName

This query returns 0 results. I can't figure out why. Can you?

Actually you don't need to join some tables. All that you need are found on table User.

UPVOTES as well as DOWNVOTES are anonymous that is why you cannot count it. The value already exist on column UpVotes and DownVotes

Query

SELECT [User Link], UpVotes, rn
FROM
(
  SELECT a.ID as [User Link],
         a.UpVotes,
         DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY a.UpVotes DESC) rn
  FROM   Users a
)x
WHERE  rn <= 10
ORDER BY UpVotes DESC
