Question

I have the following query:

select top 100 eid, cid, id, position, ROW_NUMBER() over(order by eid, cid, id) as record  
from standings
where record = 2

This gives an invalid column error.

How can I only retrieve a specific record number. I need to do this to iterate through results one at a time for data conversion with a table that has no identity primary key (or primary key in general)

Answer 1

You can pull if from a CTE

;with T as (
   select top 100 eid, cid, id, position, ROW_NUMBER() over(order by eid, cid, id) as record  
   from standings
)
select * from T where record = 2
