Question

I have a trace table which looks like this

I’d like to get a running total which looks like the following output – its very important that I retain the order – as this is the execution order of the stored porcedures – It will help me analyze bottle necks in the system

I have tried

select max(RowNumber),objectname, count(1) from rob
where eventclass = 42
group by objectname

But that mucks up the order

Is this even possible in SQL?

UPDATE:
I tried this

select RowNumber,objectname, count(1) from rob
where eventclass = 42
group by objectname,RowNumber
order by RowNumber

But this (as the query quite rightly says groups by rownumber (have to have that to have it in the order by) )

Answer 1

select objectname, 
       count(*)
from (
     select RowNumber,
            objectname,
            row_number() over(order by RowNumber) - row_number() over(order by objectname, RowNumber) as grp
     from rob
     where eventclass = 42
     ) as T
group by grp, objectname
order by min(RowNumber)

Working sample using a table variable.

declare @T table
(
  RowNumber int,
  objectname varchar(50)
)

insert into @T values
(8, 'f_system_log_init'),
(10, 'f_purge_system_log'),
(25, 'f_system_log_msg'),
(65, 'f_system_log_msg'),
(104, 'f_system_log_msg'),
(143, 'f_system_log_msg'),
(182, 'f_system_log_msg'),
(221, 'f_system_log_msg'),
(5015, 'f_get_system_logs_parent_log_id_for_dataloader'),
(5055, 'f_system_log_msg'),
(5096, 'f_system_log_msg')

select objectname, 
       count(*)
from (
     select RowNumber,
            objectname,
            row_number() over(order by RowNumber) - row_number() over(order by objectname, RowNumber) as grp
     from @T
     ) as T
group by grp, objectname
order by min(RowNumber)

Result:

objectname
