You may want to try Metabase. It is a database abstraction package that
has a feature that makes all database work like as if all supported
databases, including Oracle with OCI, had the LIMIT clause like MySQL.
The way it works is just by calling before executing a query:
MetabaseSetSelectedRowRange($database,$first,$limit)
where $database is a previously set up Metabase $database handle, $first
is the first row you want to fetch and $limit is the number of rows you
want to fetch for this query. In your case $limit should be one.
You may download Metabase for free with documentation and a tutorial from
here:
