Rowid-insert a record

IN Oracle we can Use Rowid.. I need Sql Server equivalent and
IN Oracle when we insert a record and then select it is display in the last
records.
I Need same in sql server how to make same features.
Selva,
Possibly IDENTITY (CREATE TABLE) or NEWID(). Not sure what the Rowid does
in Oracle.

select top 1 * from tablename|||Add a column of int datatype to the existing table. Define identity on that column. Define Identity seed and identity increment as 1,1.
The following is the syntax.

a int identity(1,1). Here a is the column. SQL Server automatically increments the number. Based on that number you can fetch the desired record.|||Using Identity function is really great friend.
I'm trying for my purpose now, if i need some more assistance, i'l come back to you

RowId in SQL server 2000

:confused: Hi Champs,
Is there anyway to get row id of row stored in specific table in sql server 2000 database similar to Oracle?
Thanks in advance,
JaiNope...in 2005 they have it

You could add an identity column to your row

Even in Oracle it's not really an "id" for that row.

The row id is not always assigned to the same row.

It could be different every time

Identity would always be the same.

Why?

rowid equivalence

Hi All,
Is there any equivalent to Oracle's rowid in sqlserver
What does Oracle's rowid do?|||What are trying to accomplish with the rowid?|||How do you get the row id? - I see it listed in the properties when I hover over a variable in debug mode but it never comes up in the intellisense and doesn't work when I try referencing it.sql

ROW ID

Can any one guid me like I have a billions of records and I want to see only
10th record and I want to fetch the 10th record through rowid not the Unique
primary key.
Let's say Table primary key id start from
6380,
7066,
7067,
7131,
7896,
8042
and so on ...
If I wanna fetch third record which ID = 7067 so I have to give 7067 but I
want to give input parameter = 3 then it will show me the third record, I am
talking about row id... is there any thing in SQL Server or any alternate
way through which I can solve my problem.
Thanks
Hi,
There is no row id concept in SQL Server.
Thanks

ROW ID

Is there a hidden column in a table that contains a
unique value for a particular row.
In Oracle there is a ROWID
In DB2 there is RRN
Is there an equivalent value in SQL 2000No. Not unless you create one. In SQL Server you can use the Identity
property to create a rowid...
Now if you're looking for the internal row locator - which non-clustered
indexes use to point to the associated data row - then there are two types
within SQL Server - the clustering key (if the table is clustered) and a
fixed rowid (if the table does not have a clustered index - therefore it's a
heap). The clustering key is easily accessibly. The fixed rowid as part of a
heap consists of an 8 byte key. 2 bytes for the file, 4 bytes for the page
id and 2 bytes for the row offset slot number.
OK - that might be too much information... :)

Can't you have your cake and eat it too with the sql99 row_number()
function? :)
There's an army of users who are begging for this!:)|||Hal,
Thank you for the quick response...perhaps I should ask for what I am
trying to accomplish.
I have a table that has one nvarchar column. I need to display the
results in the order in which the data was entered into the database.
I was thinking I could use rowid or an equivalent. Any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
