Q: how can you specify with a select statement how many rows are given as a result? I would only like to get the first three lines.....

here is what I have....

1 SELECT machine_name, login, Count(login) AS CountOfLogin FROM login_history
  2 group by machine_name, login
  3* order by count(login) desc
  4 ;

MACHINE_NAME LOGIN COUNTOFLOGIN
