Trouble with subquery and rownum and ordering

Question

I'm having trouble making this subquery work. The basic idea is that the web app will show only so many rows of results on the page, but right now I'm just playing around in SQL*Plus. The address book holds mixed case, so in order to sort by name properly I need to use UPPER to ignore case sensitivity. This SQL statement works fine for me:
select addressbookid from addressbook where addressbookid like '905430931|%' order by upper(addressbookid);I know that if you mention ROWNUM in the WHERE clause, you're referring to the row numbers of the ResultSet that Oracle returns. How do I use both ORDER BY UPPER(ADDRESSBOOKID) and WHERE ROWNUM > 25 AND ROWNUM <= 50? I figured a subquery would do it, but I can't write a correct one that does it! Below are my 2 attempts with the errors, and then I just tried to play with rownum:
SQL> select addressbookid from addressbook where addressbookid in (select addressbookid from address book where addressbookid like '905430931|%' order by upper(addressbookid));
select addressbookid from addressbook where addressbookid in (select addressbookid from addressbook
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
SQL> select addressbookid from addressbook where addressbookid in upper(select addressbookid from addressbook where addressbookid like '905430931|%');
select addressbookid from addressbook where addressbookid in upper(select addressbookid from address
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00936: missing expression
SQL> select addressbookid from addressbook where addressbookid like '905430931|%' and rownum > 25 and rownum <= 50 order by upper(addressbookid);
no rows selected
SQL> select addressbookid from addressbook where addressbookid like '905430931|%' and rownum > 25 and rownum <= 50;
no rows selectedLike I said, if I can get a working subquery, then I'd like to attach that restriction on the rownum stuff. I'm wondering if it will be a problem trying to get the ordering to happen and then the rownum restriction after that, and all in the same query...
Btw, we've made all the table and column names in our database uppercase, so that shouldn't matter.

Answer 1

This is probably the most efficient way ...
select addressbookid
from
   select addressbookid,
   rownum rn
   from
      select addressbookid
      from addressbook
      where addressbookid like '905430931|%'
      order by addressbookid
   where rownum <= 50
where rn > 25
