Hi,

As oracle is an RDBMS, it should store the last inserted row� as the last row and when queried in select clause display as the last row .

Its was strange sometime i find the last row inserted into my table some where other than the last row. the tables doesn't have any partitions also.

can anyone explain why this happens??

Thanks

King

You are not right. RDBMS should support a SQL standart which not force to show rows as they was inserted. If you want to see a number of any row execute this script:
SQL>select rownum,column1,... from from table_name;

You can always use ORDER BY in your queries to ensure the proper order of the results:

SELECT * FROM emp ORBER BY empid;
