FETCH is used to retrieve a specific row from a result set
of the SELECT query and places them into local variables.

FETCH will give only the number of rows equal to the number
specified with FETCH from resultset given by query.
e.g. consider ACCOUNT_MASTER table contains 100 rows.
SELECT *
FROM ACCOUNT_MASTER
FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY.
Will give only first 10 rows of ACCOUNT_MASTER table from
100 rows of ACCOUNT_MASTER table
