I've been asked if there is a way to LIMIT the number of results displayed
when doing a SELECT with postgresql, by a former user of mysql. Wasn't
sure if there is an easy way to do this or not. I've don't it before, but
in a very round about way... any suggestions.

I'm not an expert, but why not just read X results from the portal, then
close the portal? That is what I'm doing.
