Is there a top operator for informix like there is in SQL Server?
I want to run a delete that will just delete the top say 1000 records based on a ordered select.
e.g.
delete from table
where id in (select top 1000 id from table order by date desc)
Yes. Use the FIRST clause with the select statemen
