I have a table in Oracle SQL whose ids are in increasing, sequential order, but there are gaps in the ids due to editing, e.g. the ids are currently something like
22
23
24
32
33
44
...etc
I check one post and the solution provided was as below:
update (select t.*, row_number() over (order by id) as newid) toupdate
set id = newid
Now my query:
1) I guess the "From clause" is missing in the above query.
Updated query:
update (select t.*,
row_number() over (order by emp_id) as newid
from employee t ) toupdate
set emp_id = newid;
2) When i run the above query, it gives me error "data Manipulation operation not legal on this view".
Can anyone explain how the mentioned solutions worked here. can anyone post the full update query. Thanks.

This solution to the same question you referenced shows how to do it:
update employee set emp_id = (
with tab as (
select emp_id, rownum r
from (select emp_id from employee order by emp_id)
)
select r from tab where employee.emp_id = tab.emp_id
);
That works. You cannot update a view that contains an analytic function like row_number - see Oracle 12C docs, look for "Notes on Updatable Views".
