How to get the position of each record in a SELECT statement

От
JORGE MALDONADO
Дата:
Let´s say that I have the following simple SELECT statement:

SELECT first, id FROM customers ORDER BY first

This would result in something like this:
Charles    C1001
John        A3021
Kevin      F2016
Paul        N4312
Steve      J0087

Is it possible to include a "field" in the SELECT such that it represents the position of each record?
For example, I need to get a result like this:

1    Charles    C1001
2    John        A3021
3    Kevin      F2016
4    Paul        N4312
5    Steve      J0087

Respectfully,

While there is no literal “position” of each record in relational theory, the row_number() function might accomplish your requirement

You do have an order by so that must drive the position in your definition:

 

Select row_number() over (order by first) as “position”, first,id from customers order by first

Hi:

If you need the order in the result (not physically) can try this code:

SELECT       (SELECT COUNT(*)         FROM customers o        WHERE (o.first = c.first) and (o.id = c.id)) AS position,
    c.first,      c.id     FROM customers c  order by c.first 

Hope this help,
Best regards.

Sorry, the correct code is:

SELECT 
      (SELECT COUNT(*)
         FROM customers o
        WHERE o.first <= c.first) AS position,
      c.first,
      c.id    
 FROM customers c 
 order by c.first

Best regards.
