autonumber in select statement in SQL Server - sql-server

I would like to create a select query statement with autonumber.. like..
select * from tbl1
will give me everything from table.
The result I'd like to get is..
1 data
2 data
3 data
So how can I do to get that number..??
like..
select (for autonumber), * from tbl1
the data in my table will repeated (no unique data)

Use ROW_NUMBER:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY col1) AS rn, * FROM tbl1
To filter the results based on the row number use this:
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY col1) AS rn, * FROM tbl1
) T1
WHERE rn = 5

You may need to find the identity's offset e.g. last ID of second table:
DECLARE #lastAutoID int
SET #lastAutoID = abs(( Select max(convert(float,[ConsID]))
FROM [RXPIPEDB]...[consumption] ) )
Then use ROW_NUMBER():
#lastAutoID + ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY oldICN_str)

SQL Server: How to select fist 10 records from table without using TOP keyword

There is a table which contains 50 records. I want to select first 10 records without using TOP keyword.
In SQL Server 2012+ you can use OFFSET ... FETCH
SELECT *
FROM YourTable
ORDER BY YourColumn ASC
OFFSET 0 ROWS
FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY
You can use ROW_NUMBER and Common Table Expression to query any range of data.
USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
WITH OrderedOrders AS
(
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderDate) AS RowNumber
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
)
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate, RowNumber
FROM OrderedOrders
WHERE RowNumber <= 10 -- other conditions: RowNumber between 50 and 60
Refere ROW NUMBER Here
Although it's probably the same thing internally, you can use
set rowcount 10
and then run the query.
I guess you can try something like this:
SELECT t.Id, t.Name FROM Table t
WHERE 10 > (SELECT count(*) FROM Table t2 WHERE t.id > t2.id)
You can use ROW_NUMBER. Let's say your table contains columns ID and Name. In that case you can use such query:
SELECT t.Id, t.Name
FROM (
SELECT ID, Name,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) AS RowNumber
FROM TableName
) t
WHERE RowNumber <= 10

SQL Update with row_number()

I want to update my column CODE_DEST with an incremental number. I have:
CODE_DEST RS_NOM
null qsdf
null sdfqsdfqsdf
null qsdfqsdf
I would like to update it to be:
CODE_DEST RS_NOM
1 qsdf
2 sdfqsdfqsdf
3 qsdfqsdf
I have tried this code:
UPDATE DESTINATAIRE_TEMP
SET CODE_DEST = TheId
FROM (SELECT Row_Number() OVER (ORDER BY [RS_NOM]) AS TheId FROM DESTINATAIRE_TEMP)
This does not work because of the )
I have also tried:
WITH DESTINATAIRE_TEMP AS
(
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [RS_NOM] DESC) AS RN
FROM DESTINATAIRE_TEMP
)
UPDATE DESTINATAIRE_TEMP SET CODE_DEST=RN
But this also does not work because of union.
How can I update a column using the ROW_NUMBER() function in SQL Server 2008 R2?
One more option

SET x.CODE_DEST = x.New_CODE_DEST
FROM (
SELECT CODE_DEST, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [RS_NOM]) AS New_CODE_DEST
FROM DESTINATAIRE_TEMP
) x
DECLARE #id INT
SET #id = 0

ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [RS_NOM] DESC) AS RN

)

INNER JOIN UpdateData ON DESTINATAIRE_TEMP.RS_NOM = UpdateData.RS_NOM
Your second attempt failed primarily because you named the CTE same as the underlying table and made the CTE look as if it was a recursive CTE, because it essentially referenced itself. A recursive CTE must have a specific structure which requires the use of the UNION ALL set operator.
Instead, you could just have given the CTE a different name as well as added the target column to it:
With SomeName As
(
SELECT
CODE_DEST,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [RS_NOM] DESC) AS RN
FROM DESTINATAIRE_TEMP
)
UPDATE SomeName SET CODE_DEST=RN
This is a modified version of #Aleksandr Fedorenko's answer adding a WHERE clause:
UPDATE x
SET x.CODE_DEST = x.New_CODE_DEST
FROM (
SELECT CODE_DEST, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [RS_NOM]) AS New_CODE_DEST
FROM DESTINATAIRE_TEMP
) x
WHERE x.CODE_DEST <> x.New_CODE_DEST AND x.CODE_DEST IS NOT NULL
By adding a WHERE clause I found the performance improved massively for subsequent updates. Sql Server seems to update the row even if the value already exists and it takes time to do so, so adding the where clause makes it just skip over rows where the value hasn't changed. I have to say I was astonished as to how fast it could run my query.
Disclaimer: I'm no DB expert, and I'm using PARTITION BY for my clause so it may not be exactly the same results for this query. For me the column in question is a customer's paid order, so the value generally doesn't change once it is set.
Also make sure you have indexes, especially if you have a WHERE clause on the SELECT statement. A filtered index worked great for me as I was filtering based on payment statuses.
My query using PARTITION by
UPDATE UpdateTarget
SET PaidOrderIndex = New_PaidOrderIndex
FROM
(
SELECT PaidOrderIndex, SimpleMembershipUserName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY SimpleMembershipUserName ORDER BY OrderId) AS New_PaidOrderIndex
FROM [Order]
WHERE PaymentStatusTypeId in (2,3,6) and SimpleMembershipUserName is not null
) AS UpdateTarget
WHERE UpdateTarget.PaidOrderIndex <> UpdateTarget.New_PaidOrderIndex AND UpdateTarget.PaidOrderIndex IS NOT NULL
-- test to 'break' some of the rows, and then run the UPDATE again
update [order] set PaidOrderIndex = 2 where PaidOrderIndex=3
The 'IS NOT NULL' part isn't required if the column isn't nullable.
When I say the performance increase was massive I mean it was essentially instantaneous when updating a small number of rows. With the right indexes I was able to achieve an update that took the same amount of time as the 'inner' query does by itself:
SELECT PaidOrderIndex, SimpleMembershipUserName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY SimpleMembershipUserName ORDER BY OrderId) AS New_PaidOrderIndex
FROM [Order]
WHERE PaymentStatusTypeId in (2,3,6) and SimpleMembershipUserName is not null
I did this for my situation and worked
WITH myUpdate (id, myRowNumber )
AS
(
SELECT id, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by ID) As myRowNumber
FROM AspNetUsers
WHERE UserType='Customer'
)
update AspNetUsers set EmployeeCode = FORMAT(myRowNumber,'00000#')

id name new_column (ORDER_NUM)
1 Ali null

I don't have a running ID in order to do what "Basheer AL-MOMANI" suggested.
I did something like this: (joined my table on myself, just to get the Row Number)
update T1 set inID = T2.RN
from (select *, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by ID) RN from MyTable) T1
inner join (select *, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by ID) RN from MyTable) T2 on T2.RN = T1.RN

How to use row_number() in SQL Server

I want to update row data where the row_number of the column (p_id) is 1.. but this syntax is providing error:
update app1
set p_id = 1
where Row_Number() = 1 over(p_id)
You can't use ROW_NUMBER() directly - you need to e.g. use a CTE (Common Table Expression) for that:
;WITH DataToUpdate AS
(
SELECT
SomeID,
p_id,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY .......) AS 'RowNum'
FROM
dbo.app1
)
UPDATE DataToUpdate
SET p_id = 1
WHERE
RowNum = 1
In order to use the ROW_NUMBER function, you also need at least an ORDER BY clause to define an order by which the rows are ordered.
From your question, it's not very clear what criteria (column) you want to order by to determine your ROW_NUMBER(), and it's also not clear what kind of column there is to uniquely identify a row (so that the UPDATE can be applied)

Filter first then select page

How to first filter the result based on params then to apply where-between?
Some thing like
With Results as
(
Select colName,Title, Row_Number(Over...) as row from a table where colName=5
)
Select * from Results
where
row between #first and #last
But it does not works. I need to move my where colName=5 from with clause to outside then I got wrong data as It first get rows between #first n #last then search for colName=5.
Also I want count of Results.
Any idea?
You can use COUNT(*) OVER() to get the count of the unfiltered results
WITH cte as
(
select *,
ROW_NUMBER() over (order by name desc) AS RN,
count(*) over() AS [Count]
from master..spt_values
)
SELECT name, number,[Count]
FROM cte
WHERE RN BETWEEN 20 AND 24
Returns
name number Count
----------------------------------- ----------- -----------
VIEW 8278 2506
VIEW 8278 2506
view 2 2506
varchar 3 2506
varbinary 1 2506
This has performance implications though. You might want to just calculate the COUNT up front and cache it somewhere rather than recalculating it for every page request.
Your ROW_NUMBER syntax is incorrect. It should be this:
With Results as
(
SELECT colName, Title, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ...) AS RN
FROM your_table
WHERE colName = 5
)
SELECT * FROM Results
WHERE rn BETWEEN #first AND #last
ORDER BY rn
See the documentation for more information.
I use approach very similar to Martin Smiths (currently selected answer) and at least in the tests I've made it gives better performance results.
; WITH cte as
(
select *,
ROW_NUMBER() over (order by name desc) AS RN
from master..spt_values
)
SELECT name, number, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cte) AS [Count]
FROM cte
WHERE RN BETWEEN 20 AND 24

SQL Server 2000: How to get top 10 for each distinct field. A loop Maybe?

I have the following table
MyTable
ID
MessageType
MessageDate
MessageBody
The table is a few million rows but there are only 100 unique MessageType in it.
What I need is a sample of each MessageType (must include at least MessageType and MessageBody), but I can't do a DISTINCT as that only gets me the MessageType column.
I am thinking something like
SELECT TOP 5 *
FROM MyTable
WHERE MessageType IN (SELECT DISTINCT MessageType FROM MyTable)
I know this doesn't work as it just me the top 5, but I am not sure how to make SQL loop through this.
Thanks for any help
The Row_Number version
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT ID,
MessageType,
MessageDate,
MessageBody,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY MessageType ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) AS RN
FROM MyTable
)
SELECT ID,
MessageType,
MessageDate,
MessageBody
FROM cte
WHERE RN <=5
The CROSS APPLY version
WITH m1 AS
(
SELECT DISTINCT MessageType
FROM MyTable
)
SELECT m2.*
FROM m1
CROSS APPLY
(
SELECT TOP 5 *
FROM MyTable m2
WHERE m2.MessageType = m1.MessageType
) m2
Martin, if I'm reading your answer correctly, I think what you will produce is 5 samples of each message. Marc_s just wants one sample from each message.
I think what you need is:
SELECT ID,
MessageType,
MessageDate
FROM (
SELECT ID,
MessageType,
MessageDate,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY MessageType, ORDER BY NEWID() ) AS RN
-- I am using NewID() because it will produce a nice random sampling,
-- but Mark's SELECT(0) will be faster.
FROM MyTable
) sampling
WHERE RN =1
