Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> selecting specified rows from a view using rownum
I am working on a web based application using Netscapes Livewire and Oracle 7.3. I create a view based on a query and I need to be able to get 25 rows at a time. When I make the following query it does not work.
select * from view1 where rownum <= 50 intersect select *
from view1 where rownum >= 25;
The Oracle documentation is pretty clear why it does not work(it says the second select statement assigns a rownum value equal to 1 which makes the rownum >= 25 statement false) but does not tell me how to work around the problem. Can I some way still use rownum or is there a way I can insert another column into the view?
Thanks in advance,
Frank Curti
