How to select a row based on its row number?

Question

I\'m working on a small project in which I\'ll need to select a record from a temporary table based on the actual row number of the record.

How can I select a record

Answer 1

What you're looking for is the row_number() function, as Kaf mentioned in the comments.

Here is an example:

WITH MyCte AS 
(
    SELECT   employee_id,
             RowNum = row_number() OVER ( order by employee_id )
    FROM     V_EMPLOYEE 
    ORDER BY Employee_ID
)
SELECT  employee_id
FROM    MyCte
WHERE   RowNum > 0
