mssql question

[Guest]

How do you limit the number of rows that is fetched at the database,
in MySQL you could use the keyword 'LIMIT', is there something like that for
MSSQL?

select TOP * from ...

posted in wrong forum though

SELECT * FROM messages ORDER BY (skapad) TOP 15

results in the following errorcode:

Error -2147217900
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'top'.

Server version : Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86)
if that is of any importance
