LIMIT

Use LIMIT to specify the maximum number of rows to return:

1SELECT fieldList
2FROM objectType
3[WHERE conditionExpression] 
4  LIMIT number_of_rows

For example:

1SELECT Name
2FROM Account
3WHERE Industry = 'Media' LIMIT 125

This query returns the first 125 Account records whose Industry is Media.

You can use LIMIT with count() as the fieldList to count up to the maximum specified.

You can't use a LIMIT clause in a query that uses an aggregate function, but does not use a GROUP BY clause. For example, the following query is invalid:

1swfobject.registerObject("clippy.fail_agg_fn_limit_no_group_by", "9");SELECT MAX(CreatedDate)
2FROM Account LIMIT 1
