(PostgreSQL) actual record number in recordset










2















Ffor testing purposes I need to write a SQL query which contains the
actual record number as a column in the result set. If my SELECT gets
back to me with 10 records as the result, I need to have one column
which contains the values 1-10.



Is there a way to achieve this without a stored procedure cursoring through
my data?



I need this on PostgreSQL.

You could partition your data and get a row_number()



For example:



SELECT FirstName, LastName, SalesYTD, PostalCode, 
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY SalesYTD DESC) AS 'Row Number'
FROM Sales.vSalesPerson
WHERE TerritoryName IS NOT NULL AND SalesYTD <> 0;


See the following:
ROW_NUMBER (Transact-SQL)

    If you're on 8.4, you can use window functions (row_number() to be exact).



    If you're on pre 8.4, you can use the technique I described some time ago on my blog.
