Reread the original post. The OP did not ask for the first record. What the OP wrote, and I quote, is:
"Does Qracle 9i support a SELECT that returns only a subset of the records"
The word "FIRST" on occurs in a crude attempt to cobble together some pseudocode.
All answers, other than yours, are valid.
