Question

Alternative to FETCH FIRTST n ROWS ONLY

Hi... i have to select 50 distinct records from a sub query... AS400 doesn't allow FETCH FIRTST n ROWS ONLY in sub query.. so is there any approach by which i can fetch only 50 distinct records from the subquery?

Do you have the ROW_NUMBER OLAP function? Then you can use that.
