Sample Solution:
-- Creating a Common Table Expression (CTE) named OrderedOrders
WITH OrderedOrders AS
(
-- Selecting specific columns from the SalesOrderHeader table and calculating row numbers based on OrderDate
SELECT
SalesOrderID,
OrderDate,
-- Calculating row numbers based on OrderDate
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderDate) AS RowNumber
FROM
Sales.SalesOrderHeader
)
-- Selecting columns from the OrderedOrders CTE
SELECT
SalesOrderID,
OrderDate,
RowNumber
FROM
OrderedOrders
-- Filtering records where RowNumber falls between 50 and 60
WHERE
RowNumber BETWEEN 50 AND 60;
Explanation:
- This SQL code creates a Common Table Expression (CTE) named OrderedOrders to calculate row numbers based on the OrderDate column.
- The CTE selects specific columns (SalesOrderID and OrderDate) from the SalesOrderHeader table and calculates row numbers (RowNumber) using the ROW_NUMBER() function, ordering the rows by OrderDate.
- After defining the CTE, the main query selects columns from the OrderedOrders CTE.
- The main query filters records where the RowNumber falls between 50 and 60, effectively retrieving rows ranked between 50th and 60th based on OrderDate.
- The result set will contain SalesOrderID, OrderDate, and the corresponding row numbers for orders falling within the specified row number range.
Sample Output:
salesorderid|orderdate |rownumber|
