hi everyone ,
its a trick to copy the structure of the table wthout the
data .
1 SQL> create table employee1
2 as select * from emp
3 where 1=2;
the compiler will look for the statment 2 first
then it will come to the 3 line to check the condition ,when
it gets a 0 [means false] at that time only the table
structure was there in the buffer ; now it will return to
the 1st statement to create a table with the structure only .
so it will return only the structure of the table .
similarly when this
SELET *
FROM EMP
WHERE 1=2;
querry is executed as per the false conditon it will only
show no rows selected .
hope you get the answer .
have a nice time for any more assistance you can mail me to

Answer / arun
Since we are using SELECT statement for this query,
We can view only the structure of the table. where as if we
use the create query we can copy the structure of the table.

Answer / ganesh
for sure it will display no rows selected
coz for select * from emp give all and because of the where
clause 1=2.......no point in time 1 is eual to 2 or 2 is
equal to 1....so it returns no row.
eg 1=2 ----give no rows
1=1 ---gives all rows
come out of oracle and think as simple logic (is 1=2)....if
yes true else false.....similar of oracle also

Hi
When i tried the below query in oracle9i it says no rows
SELET *
FROM EMP
WHERE 1=2;
gives the query for 1=2, it is false so There is no row.
But if it runs for 1=1, then all rows are selected.

Answer / vikas patil
It is used only for condition checking
for example select * From emp Where 1=2;
it will return 0 rows
select * From emp Where 1=1;
it will return all rows
select * From emp Where 1<2;
it will return all rows
select * From emp Where 1<=1;
it will return all rows
