Suppose the table contains the fields Eno, Ename and Eno is the primary key then the query is

select * from Emp order by Eno desc fetch first 100 rows only;

if the table contains any field like serial number or emp number in serial order,

write the query

select * from emp order by sno desc fetch first 10 rows only.

By using scrollable cursors it is possible
by this we can move forward and backward and we can retreive specified set of records

to fetch last 10 records u have to use relagtive n option with FETCH

DECLARE CSR1 SENSITIVE STATIC SCROLL CURSOR
FOR SELECT FIRSTNAME , LASTNAME FROM EMP ;

FETCH RELATIVE 10 INTO :ARRAY

WHERE ARRAY IS WORKING STOREAGE VARIABLE DECLARED AS ARRAY
