Try to use Oracle Rownum property and you will get a good result. Say If your query returns 1000 records put another condition in your query as rownum<100 and then for next time put the condition as rownum>100 and rownum<200 you will get it solved. Thanx Yogaraj

I have a Oracle 9i table named Contacts which contain about 10000 records. I need to show them in a JSP page ordered by last name or first name or in any other order (as per user request). But only 100 records should be shown at a time. User can click "Previous" or "Next" links to see more records ( as in Google/Yahoo search ) I have done this by creating a temporary table. Records are sorted and kept in the temporary table . But this seems to be a very slow and inefficient method. ( Each request involves a select from the original table, creation of tempory table, insertion into temp table and finally select from temp table. ) Can anybody suggest a better approach ?
