TheLIMITclause is used to restrict the number of rows returned by a query. The correct syntax in Snowflake is:
SELECT * FROM employees LIMIT 10;
This retrieves the first 10 rows of the result set. LIMIT appears at the end of the SELECT statement. Snowflake follows a SQL syntax similar to MySQL/PostgreSQL regarding LIMIT usage.
Incorrect forms include:
Using LIMIT before SELECT
Embedding LIMIT inside WHERE
Reversing the order of SELECT and LIMIT
LIMIT is frequently used for sampling, record previewing, debugging, and exploratory analysis.
