Yep:

Select *
From ...
Where ...
Fetch First Row only;

To select more than a single row modify Fetch First Row Only to Fetch First
x Rows (where x is the number of rows)

Betreff: How to limit rows read to 1 rows

I have a SELECT statement that returns more than 1 record for a invoice. The
file can have 1 to many invoice records with the same invoice number.



I need a way to limit the select, to read only one of those invoice records.



There is a solution using LIMIT, but I cannot get that to work.



Example:



Select * from table1 T1 where T1.INVOICE in

(Select T2.Invoice from table2 T2 where T1.Invoice = T2.invoice LIMIT 1)



TIA
