<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">in command line sql I am populating a new table - one of the columns is a sort order
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
each row of this field <b><u>must</u></b> be a 'one up' unique number starting at 1 and ending as the number of rows in the table </span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
I know that I could do this in OpenROAD , and in another guise this is done in OpenROAD, but in this case it has to be done in SQL or maybe in report writer.</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
It does not matter which rows contain 1 ,2 etc although one of the columns does have a set of unique numbers with gaps which could be used to determine the order of row 1, 2 etc. </span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
Does anyone know of a 'trick' to do this?</span> <br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
In mysql it is possible to define unique one up numbers when creating a table does modern Ingres have this feature?</span>
<br>
