Currently using 9i, maybe there is a change from 9 to 10? After I responed I went to asktom.oracle.com, Tom Kyte is a Vice President in the Oracle Public Sector group. I found the following, which was also published in the September/October 2006 issue of Oracle Magazine:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-sep/o56asktom.html It explains ROWNUM it's processing and Pagination with ROWNUM, which shows the query I use... But maybe 10g breaks all the rules... Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Siracusa Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 3:22 PM To: Rose-DB-Object Subject: Re: [RDBO] Oracle LIMIT and Paging On 12/5/06 3:11 PM, Kevin McGrath wrote: >> select * from (<original query>) where rownum >= X and rownum <= Y > > Nope.

What version of Oracle are you using? On 10g here, the form I proposed works. -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
