A form and function explanation.Thank you in advance

Solution

  • You can use the ROW_NUMBER function:

    SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER () AS id, name FROM tb_cad
WHERE name like '$src_names%' ORDER BY id ASC;

    If the result you want is to find Maria's row numbers in the entire table, you need to query twice:

    SELECT id, name FROM (
    SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER () AS id, name FROM tb_cad ORDER BY id ASC
) tmp 
WHERE name like '$src_names%';
