Answer / tulasi ravi kumar

hi this tulasi .....+91-9951123501
in SQL Server 2000 we write as...
declare CurTemp scroll cursor for
select top 2 * from <table_name>
open CurTemp
fetch last from CurTemp
close CurTemp
deallocate CurTemp;

in ORACLE , we can write as..

select * fom <table_name>
where rowid=(select rowid from <table_name>where rownum<=2
minus
select rowid from <table_name>
where rownum<2;

so try it ...

how to retrive only second row from table?..

Answer / zeljko

This answer_10 will work only if there is not order by used
on select statement.
I recommend using dense_rank function to get second row out
as in example;

SELECT * FROM (
SELECT id, first_name, salary,
DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY salary desc) row_order
FROM employee)
WHERE row_order = 2;
