That’s the default out of the box date, which is probably for compatibility back to the 1920s or something. I think the DBA can change the default date, from what I’ve seen they tend not to bother.

Also ROWNUM gets more fun if you want to return 11 through 20. Something like:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT *,ROWNUM as row FROM table) WHERE row BETWEEN (11,20)

Spazzy.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE ROWNUM<=10;
