I would like to add a counter for each row within a group according an ascending variable. I have a solution but it does not work if some variable within groups are equal:
CREATE TABLE tb (
g CHAR(1)
, x INTEGER
);
INSERT INTO tb (g, x)
VALUES
('a',1)
, ('a',2)
, ('a',10)
, ('b',1)
, ('b',1)
, ('b',10)
;
SELECT g,x, (SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM tb b
WHERE a.g = b.g
AND a.x > b.x
) + 1 AS counter
FROM tb a
;
What I get is:
--------------------
| g | x | counter |
--------------------
| a | 1 | 1 |
| a | 2 | 2 |
| a | 10 | 3 |
| b | 1 | 1 |
| b | 1 | 1 |
| b | 10 | 3 |
--------------------
But I would like to get:
--------------------
| g | x | counter |
--------------------
| a | 1 | 1 |
| a | 2 | 2 |
| a | 10 | 3 |
| b | 1 | 1 |
| b | 1 | 2 |
| b | 10 | 3 |
--------------------
Any idea how I can solve this problem? Thanks a lot for hints.

User Defined Variables become handy when solving this issues. This should work:
select g, x, counter from (
select g, x,
@counter := if (g = @prev_g, @counter + 1, 1) counter,
@prev_g := g
from tb, (select @counter := 0, @prev_g := null) init
order by g, x
) s
If you don't really mind the fourth column then you could safely remove the outer select. That would improve performance a lot.
