fetching data using rownum in oracle

Question

I have a query in oracle to fetch data from table using rownum but i didn\'t get any data.
My query is like this :

select * from table-name wher

Answer 1

Syntax seems correct to me.

However ROWNUM is calculated on result rows for example:

SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME WHERE ROWNUM < 10 ORDER BY TABLE_FIELD ASC;

and

SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME WHERE ROWNUM < 10 ORDER BY TABLE_FIELD DESC;

Will give you different results.

Each time a query is executed, for each tuple, Oracle assigns a ROWNUM which is scopet to that only query.

What are you trying to accomplish ?
