nested row_number () function

  • :sigh:

    This script definitely becomes part of my hall-of-blame.

    Next version up and (hopefully) running

    Can I get your opinion? Is my script pretty beginner stuff? I was just wondering because I have no frame of reference, I'm the only one in my department who knows how to write this kind of stuff.

    I cannot answer this question depending on your script.

    I would say you should have a look for CTEs in BOL because they are a great feature introduced with SSE2k5.

    Anyway, the fact that you didn't know them does not say very much about your overall experiences. The magic is more to find a good solution for every requirement.

    In my book the best way to increase your knowledge about available functions and techniques is hanging around on pages like SSC.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Flo, you gave me some direction on what I need to look for (or study)!

    Cheers, Michelle 🙂

    Thanks for the reply GSquared. I appreciate your opinion!

    I continue to learn new functions based on the requirements from the users, and well, they can be pretty demanding! :hehe: And from this forum of course!

    You're welcome.

    Learning by necessity is how I learned SQL. No training at all. Didn't even know what "relational" meant when I started out.
