SQL question: getting the 10 most recent records

Hello. This is an SQL question.

I have a table like this:

    create table events ( event_id number, event_d date );

I want to get the 10 most recent events (by 'event_date' criteria) with a select. Is that possible? Something like:

    select <the 10 most recent> from events order by date desc;

Can U help me?

Thank you:
