How To Return Top 5 Rows? - Oracle DBA FAQ - Understanding SQL SELECT Query Statements

A
If you want the query to return only the first 5 rows, you can use the pseudo column called ROWNUM in the WHERE clause. ROWNUM contains the row number of each returning row from the query. The following statement returns the first 5 rows from the employees table:
SQL> SELECT employee_id, first_name, last_name
FROM employees WHERE ROWNUM <= 5;
EMPLOYEE_ID FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME
