Let's say we have the following table:
CREATE TABLE "ARTICLE_COUNTER_STATISTICS_M"
(
"ID" NUMBER(19,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"ITEMCOUNT" NUMBER(19,0),
"VERSION" TIMESTAMP (6) DEFAULT SYSTIMESTAMP
)
Unique constraint is on ID and VERSION field.
Example of some rows that could be in DB(Timestamps is be the same for all records always):
1374659422641 22 2014.02.26 09:45:01,000000000
1387797258001 7 2014.02.26 09:45:01,000000000
1387796687862 1 2014.02.26 09:45:01,000000000
1387800521317 1 2014.02.26 09:45:01,000000000
Now, if we want to select the IDs, itemcount and order them by itemcount we would be doing something like this:
SELECT id, SUM(itemcount) as count, version
FROM ARTICLE_COUNTER_STATISTICS_m
WHERE id != '0'
GROUP BY id, version
ORDER BY version DESC, SUM(itemcount) DESC
But the thing that is unclear, how do we select results only in certain range. For example 10 to 20 items with most count? I tried something like this:
SELECT id, count, version FROM(
SELECT id, SUM(itemcount) as count, version
FROM ARTICLE_COUNTER_STATISTICS_m
WHERE id != '0'
GROUP BY id, version
ORDER BY version DESC, SUM(itemcount) DESC
) where rownum >= 0 and rownum <= 20
But it does not work with if n in "where rownum >= n" is greater than 1 (it just returns empty results). I know that probably ROW_NUMBER() function has to be used to accomplish the goal, but I could not get it working. Any ideas? Thx!
