Search and replace Query regarding

  • Dear All,

    Kindly help with me in the following scenario.

    A table having following fields with following entries,

    Id----Value----

    5 ---- abcd

    6 ---- efght

    11--- ihjhnj

    13--- ihjjkjk

    But i want to replace the values of column ID with consecutive 1,2,3,4,5... ascending order numbers.

    Is this possible? If so please help me...

    Thanks and Regards,

    Raj.

  • Use the "Row_Number()" function in your SQL Proc or query as a new field as shown here:

    SELECT

    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [datActualDate] ASC) AS ROWID,

    [datActualDate]

    FROM

    [Schema].[TableName]

  • Dear Thomson, Thanks for reply.

    PLease say me whether the following will be correct if i use your query with mine.

    Select S.Id, S.Value, S.Id() Over (ORDER BY [datActualDate] ASC) AS ROWID,

    [datActualDate]

    FROM

    [Schema].[TableName]) from SalesS

    Will this be working for me ? for i got error like 'Syntax error near Order'

    please as i am not so well versed with Query language, i am unable to interpret urs.

    thanks a lot for ur patience,

  • I would like to see your full existing query however based on what you have posted;

    Select SalesS.Id, SalesS.Value, ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY [SalesS.Id] ASC) AS RowID

    FROM

    SalesS
