hi,
I want to select only a number of records at a time (say 20-40) of a resultset. But the resultset must be ordered for the whole table, not just for the 20-40 records. I have the following query, but keep getting error:
SELECT rownum,laborcode,name
FROM (
SELECT query.*, rownum row_id
FROM (
SELECT *
FROM labor ORDER BY laborcode ASC
) query
)
WHERE row_id > 20 AND rownum <= 40
The error is :
ORDER BY laborcode ASC
*
ERROR at line 5:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Is this because I am only on Oracle 806, or is there something wrong with the code?
Please help
Pierre

Yes, it is Oracle version issue. Because Oracle 8.0.x is not Oracle8i, in which the virtual/instant tables are supported, it is giving you error. The query you have given includes a virtual or instant table creation, that is, the query you have given within () right after FROM, is only supported in Oracle8i or above, but not in Oracle 8.0.x versions. The Oracle8i starts from 8.1.x. Hope you understand my point.
Good luck :)
