title: MySQL: Select top n max values?
body: <p>I am really confused about the query that needing to return top N rows having biggest values on particular column. </p>
  
  <p>For example, if the rows <code>N-1, N, N + 1</code> have same values. Must I return <code>just top N</code> or <code>top N + 1</code> rows.</p>
