Usually, I need to retrieve data from a table in some range; for example, a separate page for each search result. In MySQL I use LIMIT keyword but in DB2 I don't know. Now I use this query for retrieve range of data.

SELECT * 
FROM(
   SELECT  
      SMALLINT(RANK() OVER(ORDER BY NAME DESC)) AS RUNNING_NO
      , DATA_KEY_VALUE
      , SHOW_PRIORITY
   FROM 
      EMPLOYEE
   WHERE 
      NAME LIKE 'DEL%'
   ORDER BY
      NAME DESC
   FETCH FIRST 20 ROWS ONLY
) AS TMP
ORDER BY 
  TMP.RUNNING_NO ASC
FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY

but I know it's bad style. So, how to query for highest performance?
