SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *, Row_Number() OVER(ORDER BY ticketno) AS RowNumber
FROM Lottery
) t
WHERE t.RowNumber % 2 = 1
OFFSET 2 rows
Shouldn’t it be offset 1 Rows?
Yes. Offset 1 row
select * from
(select name,ticket number,
row_number() over(order by ticket number))
where ticket_number>=3 and ticet_number %2!=0
select *
from (select name, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by ticket_no) as srNo from db) t
where (t.srNo % 2) = 1
select name,ticket_number from (
select name,ticket_number,row_number() over (order by ticket_number) as r_num from table) t
where t.r_num >=3 and t.r_num%2=1;
Select Row_Number() OVER( ORDER BY Ticket Number)as Rownumber,
Name,Ticket_Number
from Lottery
where Rownumber >3 and Rownumber/2 !=0;
WHERE clause cannot be used in the query where WINDOW FUNCTION is used.
There should be different queries. (Sub-Query)
select name as winner
from
(select name , ticket_number, row_number() over(order by ticket_number from table)) t1
where t1.row_number >= 3 and t1.row_number%2=1
With CTE as
(Select
name
,Row_number() over (order by select Null) as rn
from table)
Select
Name
from CTE
where rn%2=1
order by rn
offset 1 ROWS
WITH lottery AS
(SELECT
name
,ticketnumber
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ticketnumber) AS rn
FROM lottery)
SELECT
name
,ticketnumber
FROM lottery
WHERE MOD( rn ,2) = 1 AND rn != 1
WITH CTE AS (SELECT * FROM
(SELECT NAME,TICKET_NUMBER
ROW_NUMBER()OVER()
FROM HR_EMPLOYEES
) SD
WHERE ROW_NUMBER >= 3
)
SELECT * FROM CTE
WHERE ROW_NUMBER % 2 0
select name as winner from
(select name, ticket_no, row_no() over (order by ticket_no from lottery)) lottery
where ticket_no. >=3 and ticket_no % 2 != 0
Sample table created with name Lottery
Alternate rows without 1st row.

select * from(
select name,ticket, row_number() over (order by ticket) as r from table)t where r>=3 and r%2!=0;

SELECT row_, name, ticket_number

WHERE row_>=3, row_%2!=0
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *, Row _Number() OVER(ORDER BY ticket no) AS Row Number

OFFSET 2 rows
