In my table having 100 Rec. How can I delete the 7th row?? (we don't know what is data inside ..

Answer / harsha

Use DELETE FROM TabName

The above command will delete all rows of the table with
out deleting the table.

Now if we want to delete 7th row and we don't know the
actual data in that row, then in that case we need to
create a new temporary result table, that contains only one
desired record which you want to delete.
Here are the steps.

1 Select only 7 row data.
2 Sort it in descending order(ORDER BY calue)
3 Select only first row
4 Now you have a result table with only 1 and desired record

Answer / tim v

Are we talking the 7th row as sorted by key or 7th physical row?   Since the rows aren't normally physically stored in order, I'd have to go with the latter.  

Everyone seems to assume there is a PK on the table, but yet we don't know anything about the data...  Again, this points to 7th physical row.

I'd go with the delete where RID(table) = 7 option since this assumes the 7th row inserted based on position and not value.

Answer / sherman_li

Actually, you don't need to delete this data, just move
foward the remaining data(from 8th to 100th), for example,
8th -> 7th
9th -> 8th
...
100th -> 99th

hope this is what you want
