+ The <code class="filename">tsm_system_rows</code> module provides the table sampling method
+ <code class="literal">SYSTEM_ROWS</code>, which can be used in
+ the <code class="literal">TABLESAMPLE</code> clause of a <a class="link" href="sql-select.html" title="SELECT"><code class="command">SELECT</code></a>
+ command.
+ </p><p>
+ This table sampling method accepts a single integer argument that is the
+ maximum number of rows to read. The resulting sample will always contain
+ exactly that many rows, unless the table does not contain enough rows, in
+ which case the whole table is selected.
+ </p><p>
+ Like the built-in <code class="literal">SYSTEM</code> sampling
+ method, <code class="literal">SYSTEM_ROWS</code> performs block-level sampling, so
+ that the sample is not completely random but may be subject to clustering
+ effects, especially if only a small number of rows are requested.
+ </p><p>
+ <code class="literal">SYSTEM_ROWS</code> does not support
+ the <code class="literal">REPEATABLE</code> clause.
+ </p><p>
+ This module is considered <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">trusted</span>”</span>, that is, it can be
+ installed by non-superusers who have <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege
+ on the current database.

+ Here is an example of selecting a sample of a table with
+ <code class="literal">SYSTEM_ROWS</code>. First install the extension:
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+CREATE EXTENSION tsm_system_rows;
+</pre><p>
+ Then you can use it in a <code class="command">SELECT</code> command, for instance:
+
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+SELECT * FROM my_table TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM_ROWS(100);
+</pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ This command will return a sample of 100 rows from the
+ table <code class="structname">my_table</code> (unless the table does not have 100
+ visible rows, in which case all its rows are returned).
