Do you want to physically order them or do you just want to know by time the
order in which they were entered.
if the first, no, not that I know of. If the later, yes, add another column
(ins_date date) and a trigger to populate that column with sysdate when you
insert a row. You can then order by ins_date

Hi All
Is there any method in Oracle to capture or order the rows in a table in
the order they were entered.
I tried it with rowid but when a row is deleted, the rowid corresponding to
this row is reassigned for a new row
which is inserted into the table at a later stage.
Eg.
SQL> select rowid,abc.* from abc order by rowid;
ROWID A
------------------ ----------
AAAFmYAASAAAYsqAAA 100
AAAFmYAASAAAYsqAAB 200
AAAFmYAASAAAYsqAAC 300
I deleted one transaction.
delete from abc where a=200;
commit;
Then I inserted two rows.
insert into abc values(500);
insert into abc values(600);
commit;
Now when I order by rowid
SQL> select rowid,abc.* from abc order by rowid;
ROWID A
------------------ ----------
AAAFmYAASAAAYsqAAA 100
AAAFmYAASAAAYsqAAB 600
AAAFmYAASAAAYsqAAC 300
AAAFmYAASAAAYsqAAD 500
I.e The values I entered last appeared second.The rowid (AAAFmYAASAAAYsqAAB
) corresponding to the row I deleted was reassigned for the last entered
row (a=600).
What I want is that this must be sorted in the order of its entry.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in advance
Systems.
