Hi Ramaprasad 'select max(rownum) from emp; ' this is passible
but
declare
cursor c1(dpno emp.deptno%type)is select * from emp where
deptno=dpno;
i c1%rowtype;
begin
open c1(dpno);
loop
fetch c1 into i ;
exit when c1%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(c1%rowcount);
end loop;
close c1;
end;
this is NOT Passible , because this one just show all records Not count it.......
