SQL statement - unable to retrieve rownum = 2

655578Feb 10 2009 — edited Feb 10 2009

I have a question.

When I run this statement:

select customerid from customertable

I retrieve 3 rows like this:

Customerid

1111
2222
3333

When I run this statement

select Customerid from customertable where rownum = 1

I was able to retrieve

1111

However, when I run this statement

select Customerid from customertable where rownum = 2

I was not able to retrieve 2222 instead it was blank.

Why is it so?
