Please provide a create table statement, insert statements to set up the data, then expected output for what you are asking. We can't write a query without that.

Best,

Create table Script is as under:

Create table OrdersDetails(OrderNo varchar(30),ItemNo Varchar(20),ItemName Varchar(50))

insert script is as under:

Insert into OrdersDetails (OrderNo,ItemNo,ItemName) Values('12231','1','sdfasfasd')

Insert into OrdersDetails (OrderNo,ItemNo,ItemName) Values('12231','2','sdfasfasdas2')

Insert into OrdersDetails (OrderNo,ItemNo,ItemName) Values('12231','1','sdfasfasd')

Insert into OrdersDetails (OrderNo,ItemNo,ItemName) Values('12232','1','sdfasfasdas2')

Insert into OrdersDetails (OrderNo,ItemNo,ItemName) Values('12232','1','sdfasfasd11')

Insert into OrdersDetails (OrderNo,ItemNo,ItemName) Values('12233','1','sdfasfasdasd2')

Insert into OrdersDetails (OrderNo,ItemNo,ItemName) Values('122314','1','sdfasfasd123')

Now I want to change sequence number of ItemNo for order number 12231 1 to 3.

What sequence number? There's no 'sequence' column in any of those tables, no indication where it comes from, how it's calculated.

We can't read your mind, we can't see your screen. Please explain what you're trying to do in enough detail that someone can actually help you.

Probably off topic, but shouldn't there be an item table which contains the itemno and the itemname?

Just so that you dont repeat massive description sstrings in a highly transactional table, i.e. you save the value of that attribute once.

Or is this a Datawarehouse table where you want to have denormalised data?

In the very first post, it was described as a transactional table, so you are bang on with your question. ItemName does not belong here.

We might have a bit of a language disparity going on here. Like Gail says, we're not seeing a "sequence" number here. Since ItemNo 12231 has 3 items in it, do you really mean that you just want a "count for each ItemNo"?

For the data you've given above, it would be really helpful if you posted the expected output because with what you've stated so far, we have no idea what your original problem below means.

Yes I want to count each item in each order and assign serial number to each item.

Yes I want to count each item in each order and assign serial number to each item.

no idea really, because you haven't given us your expected results based on your sample data.

try this for starters

SELECT OrderNo,

ItemNo,

ItemName,

ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY OrderNo ORDER BY Itemno) rn

FROM OrdersDetails;

Insert into OrdersDetails (OrderNo,ItemNo,ItemName) Values('12231','1','sdfasfasd')
Now I want to change sequence number of ItemNo for order number 12231 1 to 3.

Why no create a surrogate Key for the table

i.e.

Create table OrdersDetails(OrdersDetailsID bigint identity(1,1),OrderNo varchar(30),

ItemNo Varchar(20),ItemName Varchar(50),

CONSTRAINT PK_OrderDetails Primary Key Clustered (OrdersDetailsID) )

Then you have a unique value per row that you can use to reference each row.

Also, in my reality (that seems to only work in my head), in the spirit of normalization,

it should really be like this.

CREATE TABLE ItemDetails(ItemID INT IDENTITY(1,1),ItemNo Varchar(20),

ItemName Varchar(50), CONSTRAINT PK_ItemDetails Primary Key Clustered (ItemID) )

CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [AK_ItemNo] ON ItemDetails(ItemNo)ON [PRIMARY]

GO

CREATE TABLE dbo.OrdersDetails(OrdersDetailsID BIGINT identity(1,1),OrderNo varchar(30),

ItemID INT, CONSTRAINT PK_OrderDetails Primary Key Clustered (OrdersDetailsID) )

GO

CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [AK_OrderNoItemID] ON OrdersDetails(OrderNo,ItemID)ON [PRIMARY]

GO

ALTER TABLE dbo.OrdersDetails WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_OrdersDetails_ItemDetails_ItemID]

FOREIGN KEY(ItemID) REFERENCES dbo.ItemDetails (ItemID)

GO

ALTER TABLE OrdersDetails CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_OrdersDetails_ItemDetails_ItemID]

GO

This way you can put some rules on the item data, like a unique itemno, as an example.

If this suggestion will not work, then maybe you can give us a table with the new column and before and after state with expected results so that I can see how it will be different in functionality to just having an identity on the table.
