How can I place a limit on the number of rows returned by a query?

Resolution

You can use TOP or the MAX_ROWS_LIMIT query hint to limit the number of rows that TDV returns. The following examples demonstrate how to limit the number of rows to 2.
 
SELECT TOP 2 domain_name FROM /services/databases/system/ALL_DOMAINS;
 
SELECT {option MAX_ROWS_LIMIT=2} domain_name FROM      /services/databases/system/ALL_DOMAINS;
