SQL query - Join that returns the first two records of joining table

Question

I have two tables:

Patient

• pkPatientId
• FirstName
• Surname

PatientStatus

• pk

Answer 1

I did not try but this could work;

SELECT /*(your select columns here)*/, row_number() over(ORDER BY ps.fkPatientId, ps.StartDate) as rownumber FROM Patient p INNER JOIN PatientStatus ps ON p.pkPatientId = ps.fkPatientId
where rownumber between 1 and 2

if this did not work, see this link.
