  Hi All,

  Can anyone please suggest me how to do a auto increment in a select statement.

  declare @x int

  set @x = 1

  select customerid,companyname, @x+1

   from northwind..customers

  This thing did not work for me, please suggest an alternative.

   

  Thanks.

  Are you looking for a "row number" type thing?
