Can the inner-outer idea be extended to an update?

  UPDATE EMP2
  SET GENDER = 'F'
  WHERE GENDER = ' '
  AND ROWNUM BETWEEN 10 AND 20; That does NOT work, because as we explained the returned rows are numbered starting from 1, and so rownum never really matches a 10 or 20 or anything in between.

Thanks,
maa
