Consider the following case.
TABLE : DEPT

empid             number,
deptid             number,
deptname        varchar2(30)

primary key (empid, deptid)  

now i want to fetch first seven records from a cursor whose deptid is maximum
and empid is minimum. kindly let me know how to write this cursor statement.for example.  

SQL> select deptid, empid from dept;  

 DEPTID EMPID

---------       ---------
        2     94204
        2     94205
        2     94206
        2     94207
        2     94208
        5     94209
        5     94210
        5     94211
        5     94212
