  • Thank you, this works! Any ideas what was wrong with my example and why did it not work? Could ROW_NUMBER() have been used instead? Commented Feb 26, 2014 at 8:10
  • @Javatar, Yes, You can use ROW_NUMBER() too to get this, but it is quite inefficient in ORACLE. Refer the below link to know the difference b/w ROWNUM and ROW_NUMBER. explainextended.com/2009/05/06/oracle-row_number-vs-rownum Commented Feb 26, 2014 at 8:15
