Difference between Top and Limit Keyword in SQL

Question

A quick Question. Suppose I have the following two queries:

SELECT TOP 2 * FROM Persons;

and

SELECT * FROM Persons limit 2;         


        

Answer 1

If you are using SQL Server use TOP if you are using MySQL or Postgres use Limit!

AFAIK there is no product that currently supports both. Here's one list of current implementations and here's another (covers more products but in less detail)
