If I recall correctly, the only (reliable?) way of determining this in 8i is to use stored outlines for a purpose other than intended. I believe you would enable the creation of stored outlines and then use your app as usual, and them some time later check user_outline_hints to see which indexes i

It is not the predicate that causes the behavior, but the distinct. I'm taking an educated guess here, so please correct me if I am wrong. As the row is read, the predicate is applied. If the row matches the predicate, a rownum is assigned and it is saved as part of the result set. Once the rownu

Quite true, but ironically enough, the xargs manpage (on my system as well as many others) only has examples using ls to feed xargs. I meant to end the exec param with \+ instead of \; which aggregates a set to operate on. I'm not clear on whether that means one giant set, or several smaller sets,

To be exact... Rownum is sequentially assigned for each row that meets the predicate. If the row does not match the predicate condition, it is discarded and not assigned a rownum. Below is an example using our friendly EMP table. As for sorting, rownum is assigned before any sorting. However, if
