How can I limit the number of rows in Oracle?

Hi All,
I am using very complex query where I join 6 table to fetch data from database.
I have requirement like fetching a first 10000 row and then fetching another records after 10000 and so on.
I just want to know how to fetch a limited number of rows using sql query. Moreover, I also want to know how to calculate the total number of row (alternative of count method because I don't want to query the database twice because its affect the performance).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sunny

SunnyThis smells like a very fishy requirement based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how Oracle works. Could you explain why you want to arbitrarily limit the result set to 1000 rows? What will happen between that and getting the "next" 1000? What triggers getting the "next" 1000? and how do you define "next", since there is no ordering in a heap table.
I suspect we can make that requirement go away be presenting a better approach to the real issue.

How can I limit the number of rows returned by a select stat

How can I limit the number of rows returned by a select
statement. I have a query where I return the number of stores
that are located in a given area.. I only want to return the
first twenty-five stores. In some instances there may be over
200 stores in a given location.
I know is SQL 7 that I can set the pagesize to be 25....
Anything similiar in Oracle 8i?

Watch out. ROWNUM is run before ORDER BY so this would only
order the 25 selected

How can I limit the number of emails retained on my ipad air?

How can I limit the number of emails that are retained on my iPad Air? Because of legal requirements of a long-term project, I cannot permanently delete emails relating to that project from my ISP's mail server. My gmail account contains over 17,000 emails and, upon setting up my new iPad, and updating to ios 7.1.1, I now have all 17,000+ emails taking up space. I would like to limit the emails by count as I was able to do on my old iPad running ios 5.1.1 OR to retain them based on date range. I have not found any instructions on the support discussions or general iPad blogs that allow me to do that. Any way around this problem?
I also miss the 5.1.1 mail search feature that allowed me to narrow the search by from/to/subject/all. Does anyone know if that feature is available using some little-known ios 7.1.1 feature?
Thanks for your help.

If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
If you have Gmail it does not. Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:)

Hi, how can I limit the number of emails I can see on my iPhone 5. Every time in delete one and older email gets added from my live.co.uk account (where I want to keep my 2500 emails) I just don't want many on my phone. Thanks

You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.

you can also declare a variable and do

Can I limit the number of rows returned on a Select?

Can I limit the number of rows returned on a Select statement? I would be using JDBC in a Java program.

Use Java prepared statements with the equivalent of this SQL*plus script:
VARIABLE n number
EXEC :n := 3;
SELECT rownum FROM all_objects WHERE rownum <= :n;
    ROWNUM
         1
         2
         3
EXEC :n := 5;
SELECT rownum FROM all_objects WHERE rownum <= :n;
    ROWNUM
         1
         2
         3
         4
         5

How do you limit the number of rows return from query?

How do you limit the number of rows return from query? Do all databases support this kind of feature?

i think the standard is limit
to get the top 30
select * from mytable LIMIT 30;returns the first 30 rows
also if you want a range
select * from mytable LIMIT 10,30;returns 30 rows starting from 10
this last one is useful for displaying ranges... something similar happens in these forums when viewing topics and messages

How do I limit the number of rows retrieved at a time using RefCursor?

I have a PL/SQL package in use, that returns a REF CURSOR. This is currently being used in a Forms 6i application. Now I want to develop an ASP.NET web application that displays exactly the same information as my Forms 6i module. In fact those two applications will be used concurrently for a while.
I looked at the sample code provided on otn.oracle.com and decided to use the OracleDataAdapter.Fill()-method to fill a dataset and bind that dataset to a pageable GridView. Now I wonder, whether this method retrieves ALL records of the query at once and how I can limit the number of rows fetched? The Select statement retrieves up to 10000 rows at a time. Most of the time, a user is only interested in the first 20-30 rows. Forms 6i fetches more rows as the user scrolls down, how can I implement the same behavior in ODP.NET?

Excuse me, but the reply does not quite answer my question. Maybe I did not explain my concerns clear enough:
I understand the use of the two properties (RowSize and FetchSize) to reduce the amount of round trips needed to transfer the data - not the number of rows fetched in total. This would still lead to a situation where all rows are transferred, when I am using the OracleDataAdapter.Fill()-Method. Is this correct or did I misunderstand the function of this method?
I quote the otherwise really helpful article you send me:
Of course, there is a cost if the fetch size is arbitrarily large. More client-side memory and processor cycles will be needed to store and manage a larger amount of data. The goal is to find a high-performing balance between the number of round trips and the amount of data retrieved per trip.
My RowSize is for sure a bit larger than the one in the given example. The query will probably be used by up to 100 users at a time, so I would like to limit the resource-costs not only on the network by the number of round trips, but also on the web-server which is storing all these records in it's memory per user-request.

How can I limit the number of ros in TextArea?

As I turn on the line wrap and having used setRows method,
I cannot limit the number of rows of the textarea into 2.
How can I limit it?
Thanks.

I give up. You don't know specify requirements and I'm not going to prompt you every 5 minutes for more information.
due to setText method So this implies that the text comes from somewhere, maybe a database, but the user does not type the text directly into the text area.
If you define the text area with 2 rows, then the third row will not be visible, so I don't see the problem. Just don't add the text area to a scroll pane and the user will never know the third row is there.[http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z55/nwoedf/temp/error.png ]
it demonstrates the problem with excess line
The third row is still visible even I have used setRow(2).

Hi,
   You can try this:
* Let's say the table's datasource is a node called Table and it has two attributes first & second.
* You want to check if any of these attributes has been changed by the user or not. If they have been
* changed then you want to do some validations against them.
int sizeOfTable = wdContext.nodeTable().size();
for(int i = 0; i < sizeOfTable; i++){
     IPrivate<view name>.ITableElement ele = wdContext.nodeTable().getTableElementAt(i);
     if(ele.isChangedByClient(ITableElement.<attribute name>)){
        //value has been changed, do some validation. You can get the row index using ele.index().

How can I limit the number of messages coming into my email accounts on the IOS7

I don't like the new IOS7 system most annoying is the excess battery useage and need to recharge the other is I can no longer limit the number of emails that are in my cell's email accounts old system let you choose the amount of messages.
already did the basic things to eliminate battery drainiage getting rid of open pages which was also annoying to figure out how to use as you can't simply click and hold then delete all open apps running in the back ground you must touch and slide them off the phone. I don't let apps do auto updates.
They need to do something about the battery and having to have all emails on the phone which likely is sucking up space.
Any suggestions?

I don't think it matters what you use as your email client. This is a feature that existed before and was missed in the upgrade to IOS 7. I read on another post that if you contact Apple support they just tell you to report it in Apple feedback. I just submitted feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ I couldn't find an IOS section to post it to, so I just posted it in the iPhone section. Maybe if enough people do this, Apple will fix it.

How can I get the number of rows in my sql result, without a loop?

Hello,
I've a problem, I would like to get the number of rows in my sql result without make a loop like :
while (rs.next()){
int number = rs.getRow();
Is there any method to do this, on the first element?
Thx, STeF

If you want to count how many rows are in result set, I dont think you can, but you could always run a count statement for that sql
say your sql is
select field1, field2, field3
from table1, table2
where field4=field5 ......
then you can count the rows this statement returns by
select count(*) from
(say your sql is
select field1, field2, field3
from table1, table2
where field4=field5 ......)
This way you will get the count for just that sql
