Guys,

I want to find the number of records which fall between 100 and 150 rownum..how do I do it?

I tried the following query

select NO from count1 where rownum<=150 and NO not in (select NO from count1 where rownum<=100);

I getting all the 150 records. What query should I run?

Of course this is a homework as this is meaningless.
Use inline view, select the first 150 rows and then restrict to those with (inline) rownum greater than 99.

Forgot: please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.

Regards
Michel

Always, always, always format the code that you are providing. No matter how small a snippet.
This question is asked on a regular basis. There are various ways to do what you need.
One such way would be
(Pseudo code)
SELECT columns
FROM (SELECT rownum rn, columns
      FROM table
      ORDER BY column(s)
     )
WHERE rn BETWEEN m AND n;

Analytic Functions such as RANK, DENSE_RANK and ROW_NUMBER are also commonly used in this situation.
