Just a brief question: Are "FETCH FIRST ROW ONLY" and "FETCH FIRST x
ROWS ONLY" DB2 specific or SQL92?
"FETCH FIRST ..." is DB2's proprietary way to limit result sets.
DB2 offers SQL:2003's way, also. In fact now that MS has released MSSQL
2005, it seems that all of the "Big 3" support SQL:2003's "window
function" approach, see
