MySQL LIMIT clause equivalent in ORACLE statement

Is there an Oracle SQL statement that would be equivalent to the MySQL LIMIT clause used to return only part of a result set?

The preferred solution is to make use of the analytic function ROW_NUMBER. There is a description in the Oracle documentation. The final example shown returns only the fifty-first through one-hundredth row of the EMPLOYEES table:
SELECT last_name FROM
   (SELECT last_name, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY last_name) R FROM employees)
   WHERE R BETWEEN 51 and 100;An alternative is to use:
    select *
      from ( select a.*, rownum rnum
            from ( YOUR_QUERY_GOES_HERE -- including the order by ) a
           where rownum <= MAX_ROWS )
     where rnum >= MIN_ROWS;which is discussed on asktom.oracle.com. This works from Oracle 8.1 onwards.

WITH clause equivalent in oracle 8i

Hi friends,
The "WITH" clause is very well supported in Oracle 9i. Is there any equivalent ways to use it in Oracle 8i?
Regards
J.B

Dear J. B.!
No, there isn't an equivalent for WITH in Oracle 8i. The only workaround for you is to build inline views in the FROM-Clause of your statements. Please have a look at the following link. It shows some example using a WITH-Clause and the equivalent SQL-Statements with an inline view.

Simple LIMIT Clause Impossible?

Is the simple LIMIT clause available in other databases simply impossible in Oracle? This is driving me nuts and I'm just not finding a good answer.
For example, the query:
SELECT * FROM MYUSER ORDER BY LOGIN LIMIT 41, 20
This would return up to 20 rows starting at row 41 in the query.
How is this done in Oracle?
I've seen ROWNUM, but:
SELECT * FROM MYUSER ORDER BY LOGIN WHERE ROWNUM > 40 AND ROWNUM < 61
This won't work because ROWNUM > x is not valid and will always return nothing. Also the ORDER BY is done after the where, so you wouldn't get the right rows anyway.
You can fix the ORDER BY problem with:
SELECT * FROM MYUSER (SELECT LOGIN FROM MYUSER ORDER BY LOGIN) WHERE ROWNUM > 40 AND ROWNUM < 61
But you still have the ROWNUM > x is invalid problem.
This seems just as silly as Oracle's NULL == '' problem. But anyway...
Let me explain why I need this and maybe someone can tell me what I can do as a workaround.
I have a web application that (among many other things) has a table of users. This table can easily reach into the tens of thousands of entries.
The web application allows the administrator to page through the list of users, sorting by different criteria, so that they can locate a particular user, group of users, or just so they can generally browse things.
I attempt to keep as little stateful information as possible so that memory (and other resources) aren't wasted.
When a user clicks on the list of users, I do a query for the first 20 rows and display them, sorted by whatever criteria the user sets. The user can then hit the "next page" link and I do another query for rows 21-40 and display those. And so on, both forward and backward, with an option to go to the first 20 and the last 20.
I'm doing all this through Java and JDBC on a proprietary web server that supports Java servlets.
I could keep a result set open and that would help with page forwards (just grab the next 20 from the set). But what about paging backward? Or jumping ahead to the end? Or jumping ahead or backward several pages?
This seems like a very common web application theme. What am I missing?

To answer your last question ('What am I missing?') first - you aren't missing anything.
You are correct - this is a very common question. You will find a dozen or more similar questions if you search this forum (search on ROWNUM).
Oracle assigns ROWNUM as the result set records are being retrieved. Naturally this is before the ORDER BY clause since Oracle can't order what doesn't exist.
That is why 'ROWNUM <' works (oracle quits when the desired number of rows is reached) but 'ROWNUM >' does not work (ROWNUM will never get to the desired number).
The trick is to use a nested query or multiple nested queries. Oracle 8i supports the ORDER BY clause in nested queries.
The first (innermost) query selects records and orders them.
The second query is used to wrap the first query and assign row numbers.
The third query selects the desired range of rows from the second query.
'select * from (select rownum rn, e.* from
(select * from emp order by ename desc) e) where rn >= 4'
If an ORDER BY is not needed you can eliminate the first query.
'select * from (select rownum rn, e.* from emp e) where rn >= 4'
The inner query creates the RN column based on ROWNUM and the outer query uses the RN column (just as if it existed in a table) to select records with an RN value >= 4.
Keep in mind that the performance will go down as the number of records goes up.
For best results you need have a column in the table that you can use in the WHERE clause. Unfortunately this isn't always possible if you are trying to support generic ORDER BY clauses.
One way that is often useful to try to understand why things like this 'are the way they are' is to examine how you would perform the task manually.
Suppose I place in front of you a stack of 8 1/2 X 11 paper whose pages are not numbered and ask you to find and make copies of pages 40 - 60.
How would you do it? You would start counting from the beginning. When you reach page 40 you would copy the next 20 pages.
When you are done the pile of paper is in exactly the same state as when you started.
Now I ask you to give me copies of pages 61 to 80.
You have to start all over at the beginning as if the first request never happened.
That's pretty much what the computer has to do.
If the pages are numbered you can go directly to the desired pages.
Now what if I ask you to copy pages 20 to 30 after you sort them in order by LAST NAME?
There are exceptions (e.g. parallel processing, neural networks) but generally the computer can only do what you can do yourself. It can just do it faster and more efficiently.
Certain types of problems are not well-suited for the computer and some problems cannot be solved at all.

Jet OLEDB 'LIMIT' clause

Hi Folks,
I'm monitoring an access database for new records using LV2009 + the Database connectivity toolset(not 8.5.1 as in sig). Anyway the number of rows could be on the order of 200,000+, so I want to limit my query to only one record, the last. Unable to get the LIMIT clause to function, I searched and came across this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HP010322501033.aspx. It states:
Microsoft Jet SQL does not support the following ANSI SQL features:
DISTINCT aggregate function references. For example, Microsoft Jet SQL does not allow SUM(DISTINCT columnname).
The LIMIT TO nn ROWS clause used to limit the number of rows returned by a query. You can use only the WHERE Clause to limit the scope of a query.
Is this the problem I'm going up against? The reason I use Jet is because I can more easily programatically load individual databases (and not have to mess around with UDL files).
Any thoughts on a work-around?
Happy Wiring,
Jamie

I've not used partitioning, but I do not see MERGE supporting a variable as a partition name in
MERGE INTO (SELECT *
FROM stores_comm_mob_sub_info
SUBPARTITION (lv_subpartition_name)) T1
USING ... I suspect it is looking for a partition called lv_subpartition_name.
I also don't see why you need that partition name - the ON clause should be able to identify the partition's criteria.

DMBS_SQL.to_refcursor equivalent in Oracle 10g

Hello,
Is there any other way to get result as a refcursor in Oracle 10g with DBMS_SQL? I have the function that function generate dynamic query and execute with DBMS_SQL.

Oracle statement to SQL Server

Hi All,
I have a oracle statement, I need same logic in SQL Server. I know in SQL server we use CASE statement instead of decode, but I don't understand this oracle statement
Select count(decode(sign((A.StartDate - A.EndDate) - 60) ,-1, 'NewDateField',0, 'NewDateField')) NewDateField_1
From SampleTable A
I need SQL code for this in SQL server.
Thanks in advance,
RH
sql

Hi sql9, I am guessing here since DDL is missing.
The code you have shown, calculating difference between startdate and enddate and then deducting 60. The result is checking to see whether negative number or zero ignoring positive number. Finally counting how many of these in a table ie., looks like counting
number of records whose elapsed days between startdate and enddate are less than or equal to 60 days.
Select count(decode(sign((A.StartDate - A.EndDate) - 60) ,-1, 'NewDateField',0, 'NewDateField')) NewDateField_1
From SampleTable A
Few interesting observations:
1. Perhaps startdate and enddate columns are integer data types as there are no date manipulation functions used.
2. It never yields either 0 or positive number unless startdate is greater than enddate.
Please refer the code shown below to prove the above mentioned points. Also note that CNT1, CNT2 and CNT3 are all equivalent to your expected result to pass to aggregate function COUNT. Hope it helps.
declare @SampleTable table ( id int identity,startDate datetime, EndDate datetime, startDT int, EndDt int )

LIMIT clause

When I used MS Access with sql language I remender that for limiting retrieved records of a query I could use:
SELECT TOP 1 * from TABLE_NAME
So I searched for a similar clause for oracle queries and someone pointed me the LIMIT clause.
Could anyone gimme an example on how to use it?

The rownum usage can answered to the OP question, depend of what exactly he wants... but like below seems a little better :

Hi friends,
The Subquery in IN clause of an select statement take long time , is there any alternate ??
select * from oudata.SURVEY_USER_ANSWERS
where user_id in (select user_id from oudata.SURVEY_USERS where trunc(course_start_date) <'01-Jun-2007');
No database version specified?
No table structures/indexes given?
No indication of the cardinality, selectivity, skew of the data being queried.
Have you got a function based index for "trunc(course_start_date)"?
Why are you not specifying your comparison date as a DATE datatype rather than relying on implicit conversion? i.e. it should be "to_date('01-Jun-2007','DD-MON-YYYY')"
Have statistics been gathered on the data

HANA equivalent of oracle's sql%rowcount to get affected rows.

I want to get the number of rows affected from an insert or update statement inside a stored procedure.
Is there any equivalent to oracle's sql%rowcount that can be called after the query.
For example:
create procedure procedure_name
begin
     declare l_c integer;
     insert into table values ('somevalue');
     l_c := sql%rowcount; -- This would return 1 for the row inserted.
end;

Yes, after the INSERT statement....
SELECT ::ROWCOUNT into L_C FROM DUMMY;

Hello Sir,
At the outset, I would like to convey my regards for extending your support to resolve the issue.
My objective is to migrate MySQL 5 database entirely to Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 database.
I have been using SQLDeveloper 1.2.2998. as migration tool. The Plugin is mysql-connector-java-5.0.6.jar. The steps which I followed for Migration are as follows.
1. Create a New connection for source database for MySQL
2. Create a New connection for target database for Oracle
3. Create Repository for Target database.
4. Associate Repository
5. Quick Migrate
I was able to migrate all the tables. But Views, Procedures, Functions and Triggers were not effected in the oracle database. While I found by selecting the procedures in the Converted Model that the syntax remained same as of MySQL. I raised the issue in Oracle Metalink. They have filed a Bug 6275523. But the issue is very sensitive to our business due to time frame as the alternative is only manual migration. Please do help me in this issue of migrating Stored procedures, Views, Functions and triggers into Oracle.

Values from a Multi-Select in the where clause of a Select statement

I have a web page that solicits query parameters from the user.
The selections that the user makes will populate the WHERE clause of a Select statement.
One of the controls on the page is a multi-select control.
When this page posts, I would like to execute a Select statement wherein the selected values from this control appear in the .. Column IN ( <list here> ) portion of the WHERE clause.
This is an extremely common scenario, but I cannot seem to locate a how-to or message thread that addresses this specific case.
I have an idea that it may involve dynamic SQL or Execute Immediate, but cannot seem to pin down the answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you can go for a dynamic query ;)
create or replace
FUNCTION TEST_SSK
p_srot number
RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR
AS
C_testssk SYS_REFCURSOR;
l_str VARCHAR2(4000);
l_order VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
l_str := 'SELECT LOAN_CODE,LOAN_DATE,DUE_DATE,LOAN_AMT FROM LOAN_MASTER ';
IF p_sort = 'LC'
THEN
l_order := ' ORDER BY LOAN_CODE ';
ELSIF p_sort = 'LD'
THEN
l_order := ' ORDER BY LOAN_DATE ';
END IF;
l_str := l_str || l_order ;
OPEN C_TESTSSK FOR l_str;
return C_testssk;
end;

SQL XMLExplicit equivalent in oracle

Hi
Is there any equivalent in oracle for SQL XMLExplicit?
In SQL the XMLExplicit will add all the retunded nodes under the single root node like that any equivalent is available in oracle.
