    Hi VenkataR1 

     

    What's the database vendor? Oracle ? SQL Server? DB2?  there's a number of ways to answer this and some of the answers would be determined by the RDBMS vendor.

     

    Can you please do a describe on the table youre querying so we can get an understanding of the columns that are contained within the table - I'm wondering if there is a primary key that can be indexed.

     

    e.g. - ACC_ID(INT(11)), ACCOUNT_FIRSTNAME(VARCHAR(200)), ACCOUNT_LASTNAME(VARCHAR(200)), PHONE(INT(11))

     

    Can you provide an example of the data contained within each of columns within the table?

     

    e.g. ACC_ID = 12345678901, ACCOUNT_FIRSTNAME = 'Rich', ACCOUNT_LASTNAME = 'JONES', PHONE = 07958 985 111

     

    There's a possibility you can resolve this depending on the data contents of the table and the proprietary RDBMS setup (ROWID, ROWNUM, etc.) that you may be able to handle this by adding a filter on the query you're executing rather than just a simple 'SELECT * FROM TABLE;' hence the reason I'm asking the above questions 

     

     

    Cheers,
