RTFM (Read the friendly manual)!

It is always right, damn right!

Until 5 minutes ago I’ve been blaming DB2 on not allowing to limit the number of rows for each SQL, which I can do in SQL Server simply by using ’select TOP nnn ‘ + blah blah blah. Or in MySQL it’s something like ’select blah blah blah’ + limit nnn

Actually in DB2 I can do it by ’select blah blah blah’ then FETCH FIRST NNN ROWS ONLY

Then who’s stupid?

And this is mentioned here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Select_(SQL) which I must have read at least once!

Yeah, RTFM!

    No surprise at all :-)
    I always believe that there’s always a method to do something and I never have any creative idea (so far). What I can imagine is already there.

    That’s why I believe “nothing is impossible” :-)
