Answer 1

Oracle Database

ODD ROWS

select * from (select mod(rownum,2) as num , employees.* from employees) where num =0;

EVEN ROWS

select * from (select mod(rownum,2) as num , employees.* from employees) where num =1; 

Answer 2

Try this :

odd :

select * from( 
SELECT col1, col2, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY col1 DESC) AS 'RowNumber', 
FROM table1
) d where (RowNumber % 2) = 1 

even :

select * from( 
SELECT col1, col2, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY col1 DESC) AS 'RowNumber', 
FROM table1
) d where (RowNumber % 2) = 0

Answer 3

Here’s a simple and straightforward answer to your question, (I think). I am using the TSQL2012 sample database and I am returning only even or odd rows based on “employeeID” in the “HR.Employees” table.

USE TSQL2012;
GO

Return only Even numbers of the employeeID:

SELECT *
FROM HR.Employees
WHERE (empid % 2) = 0;
GO

Return only Odd numbers of the employeeID:

SELECT *
FROM HR.Employees
WHERE (empid % 2) = 1;
GO

Hopefully, that’s the answer you were looking for.

Answer 4

Try following

SELECT * FROM Worker WHERE MOD (WORKER_ID, 2) <> 0;
