Getting First Child in XSLT Transform

I have the following XSL, which I use to transform Oracle SQL developer's XML format to the "full" XML format expected by DBUnit (for creating data sets for testing).

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:java="java"
    xmlns:dbutil="com.jason.util.DatabaseTestUtil">
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;dataset&gt;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
            <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;table name=""&gt;</xsl:text>
            <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
            <xsl:for-each select="RESULTS/ROW">
                <xsl:for-each select="COLUMN">
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;column&gt;</xsl:text>
                        <xsl:value-of select="@NAME" />
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/column&gt;</xsl:text>
                    <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </xsl:for-each>
            <xsl:for-each select="RESULTS">
                <xsl:for-each select="ROW">
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;row&gt;</xsl:text>
                        <xsl:for-each select="COLUMN">
                            <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;value descriptor="</xsl:text>
                            <xsl:value-of select="@NAME"/>
                            <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;</xsl:text>
                            <xsl:choose>
                                <xsl:when test="@NAME='NAME'">
                                    <xsl:value-of select="dbutil:generateRandomName()" />
                                </xsl:when>
                                <xsl:when test="@NAME='MEMBER_SSN'">
                                    <xsl:value-of select="dbutil:generateRandomSsn()" />
                                </xsl:when>
                                <xsl:when test="@NAME='SPOUSE_SSN'">
                                    <xsl:variable name="spouseSsn">
                                        <xsl:value-of select="." />
                                    </xsl:variable>
                                    <xsl:if test="dbutil:hasSpouseSsn($spouseSsn)"><xsl:value-of select="dbutil:generateRandomSsn()" /></xsl:if>
                                </xsl:when>
                                <xsl:when test="@NAME=E_MAIL_ADDRESS">
                                    <xsl:text>[email protected]</xsl:text>
                                </xsl:when>
                                <xsl:otherwise>
                                    <xsl:value-of select="." />
                                </xsl:otherwise>
                            </xsl:choose>
                            <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/value&gt;</xsl:text>
                            <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
                        </xsl:for-each>
                        <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/row&gt;</xsl:text>
                    <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </xsl:for-each>
            <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/table&gt;</xsl:text>
            <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/dataset&gt;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I have a call to some "backend" java so that I don't have people's private information embedded in my test sets.

Unfortunately, the first loop through /RESULTS/ROW should only be a loop through the columns of the first child of /RESULT/ROW.

Can anyone tell me how to get that first child?

Replace:

        <xsl:for-each select="RESULTS/ROW">
            <xsl:for-each select="COLUMN">
              .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  
           </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:for-each>

with:

        <xsl:for-each select="RESULTS/ROW[1]/Column">
              .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  
        </xsl:for-each>
