Answer 1

Try this:

SELECT orderid, COUNT(orderid) no_of_iteraction
FROM tblTemp 
GROUP BY orderid

OR

As per your request using SUM function

SELECT orderid, SUM(1) no_of_iteraction
FROM tblTemp 
GROUP BY orderid

OR

SELECT orderid, SUM(cnt)
FROM (SELECT orderid, 1 cnt FROM tblTemp ORDER BY orderid) AS A 
GROUP BY orderid
