注意：请大家分析一下一下语句为什么不对：
SQL> select rownum, last_name, salary
2 from s_emp
3 where rownum<=3

2： 找出表中的某一行或某几行的数据：
（1）：找出表中第三行数据：
用以下方法是不行的，因为rownum后面至可以用<或<=号,不可以用=,>号和其它的比较符号。
SQL> select * from s_emp
2 where rownum=3;
no rows selected
SQL> select * from s_emp
2 where rownum between 3 and 5;
no rows selected
正确的方法如下：
SQL> l
1 select last_name, salary
2 from (select rownum a, b.*
3 from s_emp b)
4* where a=3
SQL> /
LAST_NAME SALARY
------------------------- ----------

（2）：找出第三行到第五行之间的数据：
SQL> l
1 select last_name, salary
2 from (select rownum a, b.*
3 from s_emp b)
4* where a between 3 and 5
SQL> /
LAST_NAME SALARY
