You can use ROWNUM to limit the number of rows returned by a query, as in this example: SELECT * FROM employees WHERE ROWNUM < 10; If an ORDER BY clause follows ROWNUM in the same query, then the rows will be reordered by the ORDER BY clause.

If you want to select data from all the columns of the table, you can use an asterisk ( * ) shorthand instead of specifying all the column names.

Postgresql have limit.

Oracle's code:

select * from   tbl where rownum <= 1000; 

same in Postgresql's code:

select * from   tbl limit 1000
