    <p>If you want to uniquely identify a row within the table rather than your result set, then you need to look at using something like an IDENTITY column. See "IDENTITY property" in the SQL Server help. SQL Server does not auto-generate an ID for each row in the table as Oracle does, so you have to go to the trouble of creating your own ID column and explicitly fetch it in your query.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> for dynamic numbering of result set rows see below, but that would probably an equivalent for Oracle's ROWNUM and I assume from all the comments on the page that you want the stuff above. For SQL Server 2005 and later you can use the new <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189798.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Ranking Functions</a> function to achieve dynamic numbering of rows.</p> <p>For example I do this on a query of mine:</p> <pre><code>select row_number() over (order by rn_execution_date asc) as 'Row Number', rn_execution_date as 'Execution Date', count(*) as 'Count' from td.run where rn_execution_date &gt;= '2009-05-19' group by rn_execution_date order by rn_execution_date asc </code></pre> <p>Will give you:</p> <pre><code>Row Number Execution Date Count ---------- ----------------- ----- 1 2009-05-19 00:00:00.000 280 2 2009-05-20 00:00:00.000 269 3 2009-05-21 00:00:00.000 279 </code></pre> <p>There's also an article on <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q186133" rel="noreferrer">support.microsoft.com</a> on dynamically numbering rows.</p>

    1. COI think an identity column uniquely identifies a row in a table but not in a database.

    2. COThis is true, but that fits the definition of ROWID that I see in the Oracle docs: "The external datatype ROWID identifies a particular row in a database table"... but I see you're saying this because of my typo at the top. :) Thanks for pointing that out.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
