I have a table of IDs, with some duplicates and I need to create a sequence based on the IDs. I'm trying to achieve the following.
[ROW] [ID] [SEQID]
1 11 1
2 11 2
3 12 1
4 13 1
5 13 2
I'm using an old version of the H2 DB which doesn't have use of windows functions so I have todo this using straight SQL. I have tried joining the table on itself but I'm not getting the result I want as the duplicate values cause issues, any ideas? I have unique identifier in row number, but not sure how to use this to achieve what I want?
SELECT A.ID, COUNT(*) FROM TABLE A
JOIN TABLE B
ON A.ID = B.ID
WHERE A.ID >= B.ID
GROUP BY A.ID;
Use a subquery that counts the seqid:
select
t.row, t.id,
(select count(*) from tablename where id = t.id and row <= t.row) seqid
from tablename t
It's not as efficient as window functions but it does what you expect.
See the demo (for MySql but it's standard SQL).
Results:
| row | id | seqid |
| --- | --- | ----- |
| 1 | 11 | 1 |
| 2 | 11 | 2 |
| 3 | 12 | 1 |
| 4 | 13 | 1 |
| 5 | 13 | 2 |
