ROWNUM用法--SELECT * FROM T WHERE ROWNUM=1

对于不熟悉ROWNUM用法的人可以好好的看看了。

为什么SELECT * FROM T WHERE ROWNUM=1 可以查询出来数据，

而SELECT * FROM T WHERE ROWNUM=2不可以查询出来数据。

TOM大师给出ROWNUM计算的逻辑如下：

rownum = 1
for x in ( select * from A )
loop
if ( x satisifies the predicate )
then
OUTPUT the row
rownum = rownum + 1
end if;
end loop;

in the case of where rownum = 1, the first row passes the test, is output and rownum goes
to 2. No other row ever satisfies the predicate and rownum stays at 2 for the rest of
the query.
in the case of where rownum = 2, the first row is rownum 1, it fails. The next row is
ALSO rownum = 1 and likewise fails. And so on. There can be NO row 2 if there is not a
row 1.

同样道理：  SELECT * FROM T WHERE ROWNUM > 10 可以查询数据，但SELECT * FROM T WHERE ROWNUM < 10就不可以
