Kirti, I think, you have typo (duplicate rows), when describing data inserted into table, considering PK on (col1, col2). Shouldn't it be:
SQLWKS> create table test( 2> col1 varchar2(10), 3> col2 varchar2(10), 4> constraint PK_TEST primary key (col1, col2)); Statement processed. SQLWKS> SQLWKS> insert into test (col1, col2) values ('A', 'B'); 1 row processed. SQLWKS> insert into test (col1, col2) values ('C', 'D'); 1 row processed. SQLWKS> insert into test (col1, col2) values ('E', 'F'); 1 row processed. SQLWKS> insert into test (col1, col2) values ('G', 'H'); 1 row processed. SQLWKS> insert into test (col1, col2) values ('B', 'A'); 1 row processed. SQLWKS> insert into test (col1, col2) values ('F', 'E'); 1 row processed. SQLWKS> insert into test (col1, col2) values ('D', 'C'); 1 row processed. SQLWKS> insert into test (col1, col2) values ('H', 'G'); 1 row processed. SQLWKS> commit; Statement processed. SQLWKS> SQLWKS> select * from test; COL1 COL2 ---------- ---------- A B C D E F G H B A F E D C H G 8 rows selected. SQLWKS> select * from test order by col1; COL1 COL2 ---------- ---------- A B B A C D D C E F F E G H H G 8 rows selected.
