Re: How to select a range of records by rownum?

Your query



> "select rownum, user, email from clients where rownum >= 40" failed




will never return any rows.  Think about it, the first record returned
will have


rownum = 1 which is not greater than 40 so is discarded.  The next
record returned will


still have rownum = 1 and again will be discarded and so on.
