Hi,
I have a table which contains names:
Name
----
John Smith
John Smith
Sam Wood
George Wright
John Smith
Sam Wood
I want to create a select statement which shows this:
Name
'John Smith 1'
'John Smith 2'
'Sam Wood 1'
'George Wright 1'
'John Smith 3'
'Sam Wood 2'
In other words, I want to add separate counters to each name. Is there a way to do it without using cursors?
