I want to set the result count of my query in SQL Server 2008. Something like Oracle’s rownum.
Is that even possible in SQL Server?

Do you mean that you only want, for example, the first 10 rows when there may be dozens or hundreds? If that is what you are seeking, you use
TOP.You just have to be careful of the sort order, if you care about it. Just like in Oracle.
And you might want only
DISTINCTrecords.
