Is there in Postgres such a function like TOP in MSSQL?

Re: Function TOP

If the data is sorted, you can add "... LIMIT <number of records you want,
i.e. 10> ;" at the end of the query. If you want a percentage (like TOP
10%) you will have to first find out (maybe with COUNT()) how many records
apply and then do a little math to find out what the number of your LIMIT
clause should be.

LIMIT. You need an order by clause for the results to be meaningful.
