How do I limit the number of rows returned by an Oracle query after ordering?

Question

Is there a way to make an Oracle query behave like it contains a MySQL limit clause?

In MySQL, I can do this:

Answer 1

select * FROM (SELECT 
   ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY sal desc),* AS ROWID, 
 FROM EMP ) EMP  where ROWID=5

greater then values find out

select * FROM (SELECT 
       ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY sal desc),* AS ROWID, 
     FROM EMP ) EMP  where ROWID>5

less then values find out

select * FROM (SELECT 
       ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY sal desc),* AS ROWID, 
     FROM EMP ) EMP  where ROWID=5
