Q]随机抽取前N条记录的问题
[A]8i以上版本
select * from (select * from tablename order by sys_guid()) where rownum < N;
select * from (select * from tablename order by dbms_random.value) where rownum< N;
注：dbms_random包需要手工安装，位于 $Oracle_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmsrand.sql
dbms_random.value(100,200)可以产生100到200范围的随机数

[Q]抽取从N行到M行的记录，如从20行到30行的记录
[A]select * from (select rownum id,t.* from table where ……
and rownum <= 30) where id > 20;

[Q]怎么样抽取重复记录
[A]select * from table t1 where where t1.rowed !=
(select max(rowed) from table t2
where t1.id=t2.id and t1.name=t2.name)
或者
select count(*), t.col_a,t.col_b from table t
group by col_a,col_b
having count(*)>1
假如想删除重复记录，可以把第一个语句的select替换为delete

[Q]怎么样设置自治事务
[A]8i以上版本，不影响主事务
pragma autonomous_transaction;
……
commit|rollback;

[Q]怎么样在过程中暂停指定时间
[A]DBMS_LOCK包的sleep过程
如：dbms_lock.sleep(5);表示暂停5秒。

[Q]怎么样快速计算事务的时间与日志量
[A]可以采用类似如下的脚本
DECLARE
start_time NUMBER;
end_time NUMBER;
start_redo_size NUMBER;
end_redo_size NUMBER;
BEGIN
start_time := dbms_utility.get_time;
SELECT VALUE INTO start_redo_size FROM v $mystat m,v $statname s
WHERE m.STATISTIC#=s.STATISTIC#
AND s.NAME='redo size';
--transaction start
INSERT INTO t1
SELECT * FROM All_Objects;
--other dml statement
COMMIT;
end_time := dbms_utility.get_time;
SELECT VALUE INTO end_redo_size FROM v $mystat m,v $statname s
WHERE m.STATISTIC#=s.STATISTIC#
AND s.NAME='redo size';
dbms_output.put_line('Escape Time:'||to_char(end_time-start_time)||' centiseconds');
dbms_output.put_line('Redo Size:'||to_char(end_redo_size-start_redo_size)||' bytes');

END;
