u need to use "dbo." not "dbo_". When ever u are going for JOIN then we have to use table alais then also no need to use full table name and dot(.) column name.

Hi,

Some syntax problem, No need to specify every where tablename.Column name.

SQL

SELECT row_number() Over (Order by CityID) as [Sno],CityID, CityName
FROM dbo.M_City

Check the following link, You will get Clear Idea abount ROW_Number() Function.

Solution 2

SQL

SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CITYID) as [SNO],
CITYID,
CITYNAME
FROM dbo.M_CITY;

Here, I tried replicating your issue locally and this solved the problem.

receiving Same error

error (missing operator) in query expression 'row_number() over (order by dbo_M_City.CityID)'.

Hey usha,

Is your table name dbo_m_city? Or Or just m_city? If it is later, query from either of our solutions will work. If it's the first one, use our query and before table name put dbo. Try that and let us know.

my table name is M_City only. Now i tried with SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CITYID) as [SNO],CityID, CityName FROM M_City;
Receiving same error
