I need query for - to select 10-20 rows from database.
what is the substitute for Between in DB2

[tamilselvan.sampath]

we can use like this also
select * from table_name where sr_no in (10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20)

and

select * from table_name where (sr_no >= 10 and sr_no <= 20)

DB2 is a relational DB, said that - without an ORDER BY, there is no 10th, 20th or "in between" rows.

Is sr_no a COLUMN in your DB2-table?

If sr_no is not one of the columns then I'd ask which release of DB2 are you working on? If it supports rownumber() try this and I assume that the NEW FUNCTION MODE is enabled at your shop:

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM
(SELECT name, rownumber() over
(order by some_column)
AS rn FROM table)
AS tr WHERE rn between 10 and 20
