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

Same as above with corrections. Works but definitely not pretty.

   WITH
    base AS
    (
        select *                   -- get the table
        from sometable
        order by name              -- in the desired order
    ),
    twenty AS
    (
        select *                   -- get the first 30 rows
        from base
        where rownum <= 30
        order by name              -- in the desired order
    )
    select *                       -- then get rows 21 .. 30
    from twenty
    where rownum < 20
    order by name                  -- in the desired order

Honestly, better to use the above answers.
