The selected answer works, EXCEPT when you need to add a where clause. If you need a where clause and still need to limit that where clause to the top 5 records, then you need to create a subselect like the following.

Why? because in my case the where-clause excludes some of the top 5 records. You still get a limit of 5 records, but they won't be the first 5 records.

        SELECT sum(quantity) as total
          FROM (
                    SELECT quantity, weight
                      FROM mytable                 
                  order by id
                     limit 5
               ) AS T
         where weight > 2

Replace only YOUR table name[TABLE_NAME] and use.

"select * from "+TABLE_NAME+ " LIMIT " +5;

An equivalent statement would be

select * from [TableName] limit 5

TOP and square brackets are specific to Transact-SQL. In ANSI SQL one uses LIMIT and backticks (`).

select * from `Table_Name` LIMIT 5;
