What if there are an even number of rows, which job_id should be returned then?

Also, what criterion are you using to ORDER BY here? So when you say, "I want to retrieve details of a job_id relating to row number e.g I want to retrieve 13th row from the top or from the bottom", with regards to what? Because without some order that you impose, there is no such thing as "the thirteenth row of a table".

Get back to us,
