What DBMS are you on? For Oracle there is the ROW_NUMBER function:

select row_number() over (order by col),
col,
row_number() over (partition by col order by 1)
from table;

I am on Oracle. This worked. Thank you very much

Hi, I am unable to understand what this criteria means:

ID = '"& request.querystring("oID") & "'

in the following statement:

select count(distinct hazmatclass) as hzcount
from manifestexp
where orderkey in
(
select orderkey
from manifestexp
where ID = '"& request.querystring("oID") & "'
)
group by hazmatclass;

* manfestexp is a view.
* ID is a column in that view.

Any hints please??

That is (bad) ASP syntax. Someone is building a SQL statement as a character string in ASP, and concatenating into it an ID value from a field on a form.

I say bad syntax, because what they should be doing is using bind variables via a Prepared Statement.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
I am not sure I understand the prepared statement part. How do I go about doing that.
