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
