**TOP** and **LIMIT** statements determine the amount of records in the result. For example, you want to limit the result with 7 records. In MS SQL and PostgreSQL, use the **LIMIT** keyword at the end of the query: 

--Find top-3 the eldest songs
SELECT title, year FROM songs
ORDER BY year
LIMIT 3

In MySQL syntax, use **TOP** keyword with `select` to limit the number of output rows. You can also set a percentage: `SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT`.

During this course we will use the **LIMIT** statement.
