There is no such thing as a "last" row (or first). Each row is numbered, so there is a max(rownum). Remember, Oracle does not guarantee that the rows will be stored or retrieved in any particular order. A table is actually a bucket of data, not a sequential file. You are asking to reach into the bucket to pull out what is on the bottom... Received on Wed Oct 13 1999 - 00:00:00 CDT
