1) When writing the function (I mean sql function) in the postgresql, I noticed the use for LIMIT 1, but did not understand what does it mean and why we use it?

It restricts the number of rows returned by the SELECT. You can find the documentation here:

        http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/sql-select.html#SQL-LIMIT


2) Also in the function (the sql function) in the postgresql, if I need to take the integer part of the number, which math function can do this for me?

floor or trunc, depending on the behavior you want for negative numbers:
