    for the first one:

    select e1.empname,sal from emp_table e1
    where (21=(select count(*) from emp_table e2 where e1.sal

    Thanks&Regards,
    Bhargavi

    1.
    select e1.empname,sal from emp_table e1
    where (21=(select count(*) from emp_table e2
    where e1.sal

    2.
    delete from emp_table where
    empname=(select empname from (select rownum r1,empname from emp_table) where r1='39');

    here in place of empname field u can use any primary key or unique key field.


    3.
    similar to delete operation u can do update also.

    update emp_table set empid='1005' where empname=(select empname from (select rownum r1,empname from emp_table) where r1='45');



    -Bhargavi

    for the first query

    where e1.sal
    sorry..
    i am not able to write less than symbol here. donno y..

    where e1.sal is less than e2.sal

    this is the condition..


    Bhargavi

    i am also using one table only.
    e1,e2 are just aliases used for emp_table.

    u just run that query. u will get the required result.

    That is a co-related query .In that a table alias is used for the same table and compared with itself. Performance wise co-related queries are the slowest as it executes once for each row in table.

    1.select * from (select rownum rnum,sal from(select * from emp order by sal desc))
    where rnum=&rnum;

    2.delete from emp where (sal,rownum)=(select sal,rownum
    from (select rownum rn,sal from(select * from emp order by sal desc))
    where rn=&num);

    3.update emp set sal=20000 where (sal,rownum)=(select sal,rownum from (select rownum rnum,sal from(select * from emp))
    where rnum=&rnum);
