在MySQL中，我们通常都使用limit来完成数据集获取的分页操作，而在Oracle数据库中，并没有类似limit一样的方便方法来实现分页，因此我们通常都是直接在SQL语句中完成分页，这里就需要借助于rownum伪列或row_number()函数了，本文将分别展示使用rownum伪列和row_number()分析函数来完成Oracle数据分页操作的具体使用方法，并分析和比较两者的性能优劣。
一、初始化测试数据
首先测试数据我选取了数据字典all_objects表中的70000条数据，创建步骤如下：
-- 为了方便验证结果集以及避免不必要的排序,这里我直接使用了rownum来产生了有序的OBJECT_ID列
SQL> create table my_objects as
2 select rownum as OBJECT_ID,OBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_TYPE
3 from all_objects where rownum < 70001;
Table created.
-- 对OJBECT_ID列建立主键
SQL> alter table my_objects add primary key (object_id);
Table altered.
SQL> select count(*) from my_objects;
COUNT(*)
----------
70000
-- 分析该表
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'my_objects',cascade => TRUE);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
</div>
二、分页数据获取
为了完成分页，我们需要获得该表中的第59991-60000条的10条记录，这个工作我们分别使用rownum和rown_number()来实现
-- 方法一，rownum伪列方式
SQL> select t.* from (select d.*,rownum num from my_objects d where rownum<=60000) t where t.num>=59991;
OBJECT_ID OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE NUM
---------- ------------------------------ ------------------- ----------
59991 /585bb929_DicomRepos24 JAVA CLASS 59991
59992 /13a1874f_DicomRepos25 JAVA CLASS 59992
59993 /2322ccf0_DicomRepos26 JAVA CLASS 59993
59994 /6c82abc6_DicomRepos27 JAVA CLASS 59994
59995 /34be1a57_DicomRepos28 JAVA CLASS 59995
59996 /b7ee0c7f_DicomRepos29 JAVA CLASS 59996
59997 /bb1d935c_DicomRepos30 JAVA CLASS 59997
59998 /deb95b4f_DicomRepos31 JAVA CLASS 59998
59999 /9b5f55c0_DicomRepos32 JAVA CLASS 59999
60000 /572f1657_DicomRepos33 JAVA CLASS 60000
10 rows selected.
-- 方法二，row_number分析函数方式
SQL> select * from
2 (select t.*,row_number() over (order by t.OBJECT_ID) as num
3 from my_objects t)
4 where num between 59991 and 60000;
OBJECT_ID OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE NUM
---------- ------------------------------ ------------------- ----------
59991 /585bb929_DicomRepos24 JAVA CLASS 59991
59992 /13a1874f_DicomRepos25 JAVA CLASS 59992
59993 /2322ccf0_DicomRepos26 JAVA CLASS 59993
59994 /6c82abc6_DicomRepos27 JAVA CLASS 59994
59995 /34be1a57_DicomRepos28 JAVA CLASS 59995
59996 /b7ee0c7f_DicomRepos29 JAVA CLASS 59996
59997 /bb1d935c_DicomRepos30 JAVA CLASS 59997
59998 /deb95b4f_DicomRepos31 JAVA CLASS 59998
59999 /9b5f55c0_DicomRepos32 JAVA CLASS 59999
60000 /572f1657_DicomRepos33 JAVA CLASS 60000
10 rows selected.
</div>
可以看到这两种方式都返回了正确的结果集；在rownum方法中，由于不可以直接使用rownum伪列执行”大于“比较运算，所以这里是先从子查询中使用rownum来获得前60000条数据，然后在外层查询中使用大于运算去除不需要的行。而对于row_number()方法，row_number()分析函数以OBJECT_ID排序并为其生成了唯一的标识，然后通过between这种便于理解的方式来获取区间数据，那么实际的执行是不是这样的呢？我们来简单分析一下两者的执行细节。
三、分页性能分析
首先还是看一下他们的执行计划：
SQL> set autotrace traceonly
SQL> set linesize 200
-- rownum伪列分页的执行计划
SQL> select t.* from (select d.*,rownum num from my_objects d where rownum<=60000) t where t.num>=59991;
10 rows selected.

从上面的执行计划中我们可以看出，rownum方法使用了全表扫描来获得表中的前60000行，然后使用谓词条件”T”.”NUM”>=59991来过滤掉了不需要的行；而row_number()方法虽然利用到了主键索引来省去了分析函数本身产生的window的排序操作，但它还是先获取了表中的所有70000行数据，然后再使用between关键字来过滤数据行，这个操作的很多资源都消耗在了数据读取上了，所以上面的例子中，rownum伪列方法获得了较好的性能，而实际上，在大多数情况下，第一种rownum方法
