I need to order rows in MySQL and assign a number to each row according to that order. ORDER BY
is working as intended but not ROW_NUMBER()
.
This works:
USE my_database;
SELECT
id
,volume
FROM my_table
ORDER BY volume;
This does not work:
USE my_database;
SELECT
id
,volume
,ROW_NUMBER() over(ORDER BY volume)
FROM my_table
ORDER BY volume;
I get this error message:
SELECT id ,volume ,ROW_NUMBER() over(ORDER BY volume) FROM my_table ORDER BY volume Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(ORDER BY volume) FROM my_table ORDER BY vol' at line 4 0.000 sec
What am I doing wrong and how do I make it work?
I also tried RANK()
and DENSE_RANK()
which gives the same problem.
ROW_NUMBER function is a SQL ranking function that assigns a sequential rank number to each new record in a partition. When the SQL Server ROW NUMBER function detects two identical values in the same partition, it assigns different rank numbers to both.
ROWNUM is a pseudocolumn and has no parameters. ROW_NUMBER is an analytical function which takes parameters. ROWNUM is calculated on all results but before the ORDER BY. ROW_NUMBER is calculated as part of the column calculation.
You can use ROWNUM to limit the number of rows returned by a query, as in this example: SELECT * FROM employees WHERE ROWNUM < 10; If an ORDER BY clause follows ROWNUM in the same query, then the rows will be reordered by the ORDER BY clause. The results can vary depending on the way the rows are accessed.
The QUALIFY clause simplifies queries that require filtering on the result of window functions. Without QUALIFY, filtering requires nesting. The example below uses the ROW_NUMBER() function to return only the first row in each partition.
The function ROW_NUMBER() does not exist in MySQL.
However, you can replicate it, possibly: http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-row_number/
The row_number is a ranking function that returns a sequential number of a row, starting from 1 for the first row. We often want to use the row_number function to produce the specific reports we need. Unfortunately, MySQL does not provide row_number like Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. However, in MySQL, you can use session variables to emulate the row_number function.
example:
SET @row_number = 0;
SELECT
(@row_number:=@row_number + 1) AS num, firstName, lastName
FROM
employees
LIMIT 5;
There are no such things as ROW_NUMBER()
or RANK()
in MySQL. Try the following :
USE my_database;
SET @row_number = 0;
SELECT id
, volume
, @row_number := @row_number + 1 AS rank
FROM my_table
ORDER BY volume;
