There's no function with that name in Oracle, only a hint named FIRST_ROWS. But in DB2 there's a "FETCH FIRST x ROWS ONLY".
Maybe "SELECT TOP x" is what you're looking for. Btw, this is similar to RANK/ROW_NUMBER/PERCENT_RANK.

I can't remember anything like that, but i attended just a few presentations, because i mainly went there to visit some old friends ;-)
