SQL & PL/SQL

Hi

I need to demonstrate the use of the TOP clause, however when I run my SQL it says incorrect use of the clause.

Question: List the top 3 earners in the company( from the employees table). List employee_id, last_name, and the salary in descending order.

below is my attempt:

Select TOP 3 employee_id, last_name, salary
FROM employees
ORDER BY salary DESC;

Any assistance will be appreciated

Thanks
