In this case, the rownum should not be a problem when using it in a sub
select? You are only trying to get the first seven rows from the sub
select.. Whats the problem?

Fair enough, using a rownum on a single select may not be reliable, but in
this case it should work like a charm..

No, No not for this statement , my group leader tells that rownum is not
used so much in applications becouse it can give wrong results sometimes. I
do not know if it is correct . I ask you for approve him or not..
  Thanks

Consider the following case.

empid             number,
deptid             number,
deptname        varchar2(30)
primary key (empid, deptid)

now i want to fetch first seven records from a cursor whose deptid is
maximum
and empid is minimum. kindly let me know how to write this cursor
statement.for example.

SQL> select deptid, empid from dept;

 DEPTID   EMPID
---------       ---------
        2     94204
        2     94205
        2     94206
        2     94207
        2     94208
        5     94209
        5     94210
        5     94211
        5     94212
        5     94213
        7     94214
        7     94215
        7     94216
        7     94217
        7     94218
