Wouldn't a better analogy for SQL be 'Get the top two eggs from the fridge'?
It'd translate to
select top 2 eggs from fridge;
It'd translate to
select top 2 eggs from fridge;
FETCH FIRST n ROWS ONLY
In PostgreSQL and MySQL the usual syntax is a LIMIT clause, but PostgreSQL also supports the standard. MSSQL and some others use TOP n directly after SELECT. I think in some others you need to use a window function.
