Below is the list of tables from the database along with their columns and datatype. Need to generate an accurate SQL query for the question.
Only use the columns present in the respective table. Only use the columns which are required to generate the SQL query. Only use table joins if required and not otherwise.

### Tables ###
TABLE: CREATE TABLE table_63078 ( "Rank (2012)" real, "Rank (2010)" real, "Employer" text, "Industry" text, "2012 Employees (Total)" real, "2010 Employees (Total)" real, "2007 Employees (Total)" text, "Head office" text )

### Question ###
What is the total number of 2012 Employees (Total) when 2007 Employees (Total) is 8,985, and rank (2010) is smaller than 9?

### Accurate SQL ###

SELECT COUNT("2012 Employees (Total)") FROM table_63078 WHERE "2007 Employees (Total)" = '8,985' AND "Rank (2010)" < '9'
