FETCH is used to retrieve a specific row from a result set
of the SELECT query and places them into local variables.

FETCH will give only the number of rows equal to the number
specified with FETCH from resultset given by query.
e.g. consider ACCOUNT_MASTER table contains 100 rows.
SELECT *
FROM ACCOUNT_MASTER
FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY.
Will give only first 10 rows of ACCOUNT_MASTER table from
100 rows of ACCOUNT_MASTER table

Hi i need to write a query on the following requirement. SELECT COMM_TEXT INTO :WS_MIKM_COMM_TEXT FROM MPIPROD.MIKMV01 WHERE ACCOUNT_NO = :WFD_ACCOUNT_NO AND (SUBSTR(COMM_TEXT,1,39) = :WS_COMMENT_TEXT AND SUBSTR(COMM_TEXT,47,14) = :WS_DENY_DESC) OR (SUBSTR(COMM_TEXT,1,39) = :WS_COMMENT_TEXT) The above query is to be modified. The requirement is if both the fields are equal then that has to be given priority. In the above query if it satisfies any one it comes out without checking if both being equal is possible.
