Hi Prakash Kumar,
this is the problem with rownum. In general never use = or
> with rownum. I will explain the reason.
Siuppose u hav 2 rowns in a table.
when u say select * from emp where rownum =2.
then 2 row will get selected ...but as soon as it gets
selected..since it is the only row in the selection its row
num will change to 1.
so this will return 0 rows.
similarly..
when u say rownum >1
2 row will get selected but as soon as it get selected its
rownum changes to 1.. so no rows selected again
