row-number

I have an employee table with has name, age, city as columns. I want to display a column at run-time for my row numbers starting from 1. I am using SQL in Access. Call the following function from your query. Public Function GetNextNum(str As String) As Long num = num + 1 GetNextNum = num End Function The caveat is that you must have at least one parameter (even if you don't need one) otherwise the function only gets called once and returns 1 for all the rows. Before running the query set the global variable num to 0. You only need one function to obtain a very speedy and even "groupable" row

I believe similar questions have been asked but I can't quite find a solution that works for me. I've got a database that I use to sort through digitised books and their pages and I'm trying to sort through several thousand pages that contain maps. Of the two tables I'm using the first lists all the pages in a book and the order they occur in the book, it's got three columns (bookID, pageOrder, pageID), each page has its own row. The second table lists all the places (in a map) that occur on each page, it has two columns (pageID, placeID) if there are multiple places on one page then a new row

I need, if possible, a t-sql query that, returning the values from an arbitrary table, also returns a incremental integer column with value = 1 for the first row, 2 for the second, and so on. This column does not actually resides in any table, and must be strictly incremental, because the ORDER BY clause could sort the rows of the table and I want the incremental row in perfect shape always... Thanks in advance. --EDIT Sorry, forgot to mention, must run on SQL Server 2000 For SQL 2005 and up SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER BY SomeColumn ) AS 'rownumber',* FROM YourTable for 2000 you need to do

I need to add row numbers to a large (ca. billion rows) dataset in BigQuery. When I try: SELECT * ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY d_arf DESC) plarf FROM [trigram.trigrams8] I get "Resources exceeded during query execution.", because an analytic/window function needs to fit in one node. How can I add row numbers to a large dataset in BigQuery? You didn't give me a working query, so I had to create my own, so you'll need to translate it to your own problem space. Also I'm not sure why do you want to give a row number to each row in such a huge dataset, but challenge accepted: SELECT a.enc, plarf,

RowNumber() with Partition in MYSQL i want the below output based on id-Foreign key id | Name | rownumber 1 a 1 1 b 2 1 ads 3 2 dsfs 1 2 sadf 2 2 sdfsa 3 2 dfsfs 4 3 dsf 1 3 adsf 2 3 sdd 3 I barely understood what you mean. There's no RowNumber() function in mysql, and partitioning has nothing to do with your request. It's: SELECT t.*, @cur:= IF(id=@id, @cur+1, 1) AS RowNumber, @id := id FROM t CROSS JOIN (SELECT @id:=(SELECT MIN(id) FROM t), @cur:=0) AS init ORDER BY t.id @Alma Du, @Chintu is talking about SQL Server where you can apply row_number + partition over specific field(s).
