To select first 10 elements from a database using SQL ORDER BY clause with LIMIT 10. Insert some records in the table using insert command. Display all records from the table using select statement. Here is the alternate query to select first 10 elements.

MySQL Doc.
SELECT SUBSTRING(subject, 1, 10) FROM tbl
Have a look at either Left or Substring if you need to chop it up even more.
Google and the MySQL docs are a good place to start - you'll usually not get such a warm response if you've not even tried to help yourself before asking a question.
