Answer 1

  SELECT * FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY sal DESC) row_number, sr,sal FROM empsal) a WHERE (row_number%2) = 1

and

      SELECT * FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY sal DESC) row_number, sr,sal FROM   empsal) a WHERE (row_number%2) = 0

Answer 2

Assuming your table has auto-numbered field "RowID" and you want to select only records where RowID is even or odd.

To show odd:

Select * from MEN where (RowID % 2) = 1

To show even:

Select * from MEN where (RowID % 2) = 0

Answer 3

select * from Tablename 
where id%2=0

Answer 4

for SQL > odd:

select * from id in(select id from employee where id%2=1)

for SQL > Even:

select * from id in(select id from employee where id%2=0).....f5

Answer 5

Check out ROW_NUMBER()

SELECT t.First, t.Last
FROM (
    SELECT *, Row_Number() OVER(ORDER BY First, Last) AS RowNumber 
            --Row_Number() starts with 1
    FROM Table1
) t
WHERE t.RowNumber % 2 = 0 --Even
--WHERE t.RowNumber % 2 = 1 --Odd

SELECT *
  FROM   
  ( 
     SELECT rownum rn, empno, ename
     FROM emp
  ) temp
  WHERE  MOD(temp.rn,2) = 1
