you cant have a view with 1000+ columns, so cheat a little.

select *
  from foo f, foo2 f2
 where (f.rowid, f2.rowid) in (select r, r2
                                 from (select r, r2, rownum rn
                                         from (select /*+ first_rows */ f.rowid r, f2.rowid r2
                                                 from foo f, foo2 f2
                                                where f.c1 = f2.a1 
                                                  and f.c2 = '1'
                                                order by f.c1))
                                where rn >= AAA
                                  and rownum <= BBB)


order by whatever;

now put any where clauses in the innermost bit (eg i put f.c1 = '1').

BBB = pagesize. AAA = start point
