查询前几条记录在不同数据库中的用法

1. ORACLE
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE ROWNUM<=N
2. INFORMIX
SELECT FIRST N * FROM TABLE1
3. DB2
SELECT * ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY COL1 DESC) AS ROWNUM WHERE ROWNUM<=N
或者
SELECT COLUMN FROM TABLE FETCH FIRST N ROWS ONLY
4. SQL SERVER
SELECT TOP N * FROM TABLE1
5. SYBASE
SET ROWCOUNT N
GO
SELECT * FROM TABLE1
6. MYSQL
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 LIMIT N
7. FOXPRO
SELECT * TOP N FROM TABLE ORDER BY COLUMN

 

虽然 select   *   from   table   where   rownum< 你要查的记录条数，能够取出前几条记录，但是你如果要把排序后记录取前几条结果就不对，如下 SQL 语句  
  select   *   from   table   where   rownum<50   order   by   字段名   desc ，取出来的不时按照先排序后取前几名,而是先取前几名,再排序

   要实现先排序,再取前几名用下面这条语句

select * from (select * from table order by 字段名 desc) where rownum<50
