SV: Onfly, function generated ID for Select Query

No, the result will be ordered by the window functions order clause so no additional ordering is nessesary.
You can try this by changing it to OVER(ORDER BY product_name)

Dear Mikael!

Wooooow... that is it!
Thank you!

SELECT product_id, product_name, group_id, ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY product_id) FROM products;

Does this mean that I have to duplicate the order by clause?

SELECT product_id, product_name, group_id, ROW_NUMBER ()
OVER (ORDER BY product_id, product_name, group_id)
FROM products
ORDER BY product_id, product_name, group_id

To get the same sequence in the ROW_ID-s, and the Query rows?

Hi,

Is it something like row_number() you want?

Dear Members!

I'm searching for a simple solution, like this:

select GetIDForThisSelect(1, 1) as UID, * from anytablehasdoublestringkey
join othertablehasnotuniqueintegerkey ...
where ....

Ok, I can make a sequence, but I don't want to use persistent data.
It is enough to get 1...N as UID for this select.

Like generate_series, but that is generating rows.

Maybe you have some trick to do this.

Thank you for any assistance!

Best regards
