Is there any way to simulate rownum in postgresql ?
In PostgreSQL, the ROW_NUMBER() function is used to assign a unique integer to every row that is returned by a query.
You can use ROWNUM to limit the number of rows returned by a query, as in this example: SELECT * FROM employees WHERE ROWNUM < 10; If an ORDER BY clause follows ROWNUM in the same query, then the rows will be reordered by the ORDER BY clause. The results can vary depending on the way the rows are accessed.
ROW_NUMBER function is a SQL ranking function that assigns a sequential rank number to each new record in a partition. When the SQL Server ROW NUMBER function detects two identical values in the same partition, it assigns different rank numbers to both.
If you want to select data from all the columns of the table, you can use an asterisk ( * ) shorthand instead of specifying all the column names. The select list may also contain expressions or literal values. Second, specify the name of the table from which you want to query data after the FROM keyword.
Postgresql > 8.4
SELECT row_number() OVER (ORDER BY col1) AS i, e.col1, e.col2, ... FROM ...
Postgresql have limit.
Oracle's code:
select * from tbl where rownum <= 1000;
same in Postgresql's code:
select * from tbl limit 1000
