Examples of SEQUENCE BY
Examples of SEQUENCE BY
•
Sequentially number each row for the entire result and also number the rows for 
each part number:
SELECT RUNNINGCOUNT(*) AS RCOUNT, MOVINGCOUNT(*, 
 ROWS SINCE (d.partnum<>THIS(d.partnum))) 
 AS MCOUNT,
 d.partnum
FROM orders o, odetail d
WHERE o.ordernum=d.ordernum
SEQUENCE BY d.partnum, o.order_date, o.ordernum
ORDER BY d.partnum, o.order_date, o.ordernum;
RCOUNT MCOUNT Part/Num 
-------------------- --------------------- -------- 
 1 1 212 
 2 2 212 
 3 1 244 
 4 2 244 
 5 3 244 
 ... ... ... 
 67 1 7301 
 68 2 7301

 70 4 7301 
--- 70 row(s) selected.

Show the orders for each date, the amount for each order item and the moving 
total for each order, and the running total of all the orders. The query sequences 
orders by date, order number, and part number. (The CAST function is used for 
readability only.)
SELECT o.ordernum,
 CAST (MOVINGCOUNT(*,ROWS SINCE(THIS(o.ordernum) <> 
 o.ordernum)) AS INT) AS MCOUNT, 
 d.partnum, o.order_date, 
 (d.unit_price * d.qty_ordered) AS AMOUNT,
 MOVINGSUM (d.unit_price * d.qty_ordered,
