I am working on a query for SQL Server 2005 that needs to return data with two 'index' fields. The first index 't_index' should increment every time the 'shade' column changes, whilst the second index increments within the partition of the values in the 'shade' column:
t_index s_index shade
1 1 A
1 2 A
1 3 A
1 4 A
1 5 A
2 1 B
2 2 B
2 3 B
2 4 B
2 5 B
To get the s_index column I am using the following:
Select ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [shade] ORDER BY [shade]) as s_index
My question is how to get the first index to only increment when the value in the 'shade' column changes?
