      XPost: comp.databases.oracle.misc, comp.databases.oracle.server       From: spare_brain@yahoo.com              Hi,              I had a problem where I had to limit the rows returned - return only the       rows between N and M. I accomplished it using a SQL that looks something       like this:                     SELECT rownum, emp_name from EMPLOYEE        WHERE dept = 'hardware'        group by rownum, emp_name having rownum between 10 and 15              Now, as it so happens, there could be multiple entries for any given       employee. I am getting multiple rows for the same employee! Is there a way       to introduce a "distinct" on just the emp_name? How else to achieve this? If       I use "select distinct rownum, emp_name..." it does not prevent multiple       employees from showing up!              Please post your valuable suggestions to the newsgroup.              Thanks!       SB              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
