I need to fetch a set of 10 records sequentially based on ROWID from a table which has more than 1000 records.
eg:
TABLE is UW_WORKSHEET and fields to be retrieved are
POLICY_NUMBER, AGE, DECISION_DATETIME

you might try something like???

select POLICY_NUMBER, AGE, DECISION_DATETIME
from
(select rowidtochar(rowid), POLICY_NUMBER, AGE, DECISION_DATETIME
from UW_WORKSHEET
group by rowidtochar(rowid))
where rownum <= 10;

or

select POLICY_NUMBER, AGE, DECISION_DATETIME
from
(select rowid, POLICY_NUMBER, AGE, DECISION_DATETIME
from UW_WORKSHEET
group by rowid)
where rownum <= 10;

the group by sorts the subquery.

The use of an order by in the inline view is actually better, as you can sort ASC or DESC as opposed to the old GROUP BY trick.

select POLICY_NUMBER, AGE, DECISION_DATETIME
from
(select rowid, POLICY_NUMBER, AGE, DECISION_DATETIME
from UW_WORKSHEET
order by rowid)
where rownum <= 10;

thanks for the reply andrew..this will give me first 10.

But my requirement is to get sequential chunks of records
eg:
This is a webpage in which I have to show 30 records.When the page is initially loaded it will load 1 to 10 records. When the user clicks the NEXT button, page should display record number
10 to 20 records. ...so on 20-30 and 30-40

It will be great if u could suggest something for this

thanks
