Sometimes it's important to just have a quick look at the first few lines of an attribute table to get an idea of the data (or if a field calculation worked as expected).

Right now, you can filter the attribute table to all features, the features in current viewport and to selected features. You can also selected an advanced filter, but there's something like a "quick view" missing, f.e. the first 100 entries only.

Would it be possible to add this to the filter selection menu in attribute table?

agree this is long standing feature that many users miss a lot (especially the ones that need to work with large/server datasets).

The DB Manager table (and geometry) preview should also show only a limited number of records (and features) by default.

I would be interested in knowing more about how difficult it would be to implement a record fetch limit when opening the attribute table to the first n records for all providers. Anyone have ideas?
