You can use the method setMaxRows(int) of the java.sql.Statement to limit the number of rows and you can also use the absolute(int) method of the java.sql.ResultSet to move to a specific row if the ResultSet is scrollable (that's an option when creating the Statement or PreparedStatement).
With the previous two methods you can obtain the desired rows of a query. > -----Original Message----- > From: JOSHY MON M C [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 2:04 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Urgent Help needed ! > > > Hi All, > Can Anybody help ? > > I have a Oracle 9i table named Contacts which contain about 10000 records.
