RE: Numbering rows in SQL result set

[meovino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I think this will work, but not in Net.Data (which is where I'm using the 
SQL).  You can refer to variables in SQL, but I don't know how to change 
their values in an SQL statement.

Mike,

I haven't tried this but I think it will do the trick.

case counter
when < 1 counter = 1
other counter = counter + 1
end

Subject: Numbering rows in SQL result set


Is there an SQL scalar function or some other trick I can use to add a 
column to a result set that numbers the rows in the set.  Let's say my 
result set currently is:

John
Paul
George
Ringo

I want it to look like:

1   John
2   Paul
3   George
4   Ringo

Thanks!

Mike E.
