Sequential Ordering

  • So SS2005 gets a bit closer to functionality (and, in this particular case, syntax) Oracle has been using for some time...

  • The functionality (and, in this particular case, syntax) are part of the ANSI SQL99 standard.

  • I like standards - in terms of if you are going to implement some functionality and there is some standard syntax for it, you should use it - but if it is proprietary functionality then you have to go out on your own with syntax anyway..

    Good to see these new functions - they and the Top N ability will make many filtering tasks infinitely more straight forward!  Nice article and explanation too
