not sure what you mean about the condition

select *
from tbl
where rack = 'A1'

if you don't want a where clause
select top 3 *
from tbl
order by Rack

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

Of course you can't - what kind of constraint is "not giving condition".

select t.* from table t inner join (select 'a1' rack) x on t.rack=x.rack.

Even if you join to a table it's still a condition - what are you trying to do?

The condition is that A1 is the first alphabetically (or top 3) in the table. It's still a condition! The only unconditional set of a set is the set :)
Maybe the OP can explain the reason and clarify the question. Seems a bit pointless so far.

It's a condition of the data not a conditional clause in the query.
Yep - the suggestions are as pointless as the question.
