+# Grab A Limited Set Of Records
+
+Let's say you want to grab some records from a table, but you want to limit the
+result set to 10 records.
+
+You can do that with the `take` option.
+
+```javascript
+const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
+  take: 10
+});
+```
+
+It is generally good to not assume anything about the ordering. Instead, you
+should be explicit about the order you want, so let's include an `orderBy` as
+well.
+
+```javascript
+const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
+  take: 10,
+  orderBy: { createdAt: "asc" },
+});
+```
+
+This will return the 10 most recently created posts.
