  1. I am not sure ORACLE ever had a TOP function. You want to use a TOP-N query.

    For example:

    select  *   from  (SELECT  *            FROM  foo           where  foo_id=[number]        order by  foo_id desc)  where  rownum <= 3

    This will get you the top three results (because I order by desc in the sub query)
