How to perform pagination in Oracle sorting?

In Oracle database, you can achieve pagination using ROWNUM and ROWID. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. Use the SELECT statement to retrieve data that needs to be sorted, and use the ORDER BY statement to sort the data.
  2. Retrieve all data from the table “table_name” and sort it based on the column “column_name”.
  3. Use the ROWNUM function to assign numbers to the query results and add a new column for them.
  4. Generate row numbers for each row in the table, ordered by a specific column.
  5. Use the ROWID function to obtain a unique identifier for each row of data, allowing precise positioning when conducting paged queries.
  6. Choose ROWNUM AS row_number, ROWID, and all columns from the table sorted by a specific column.
  7. Use a subquery to paginate the sorted results, specifying the range of rows by setting the start and end rows to retrieve data for a specific page.
  8. Retrieve all records from the table “table_name” that fall within the specified range of row numbers, ordered by “column_name”.
  9. start_row and end_row represent the starting and ending row numbers of a page, which can be calculated based on the number of records displayed per page and the current page number.

This allows for pagination in Oracle database queries while maintaining the order of the results.
