Code Translation

Original Code Analysis

The provided snippet applies ROW_NUMBER() to assign a unique number to rows within a partition defined by a combination of fields (TITLE, DOC_CAPTION, DOC_SERIES, and DOC_NUMBER) from the hri table. It also orders the partition by the ins_date field from the h table in descending order.

SQL Translation

To maintain the original logic and behavior in SQL, the ROW_NUMBER() function along with the partition can be expressed as follows:

SELECT 
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
        PARTITION BY 
            CAST(CASE 
                WHEN hri.TITLE IS NOT NULL THEN hri.TITLE 
                ELSE '' 
            END AS VARCHAR) || 
            CAST(CASE 
                WHEN hri.DOC_CAPTION IS NOT NULL THEN hri.DOC_CAPTION 
                ELSE '' 
            END AS VARCHAR) || 
            CAST(CASE 
                WHEN hri.DOC_SERIES IS NOT NULL THEN hri.DOC_SERIES 
                ELSE '' 
            END AS VARCHAR) || 
            CAST(CASE 
                WHEN hri.DOC_NUMBER IS NOT NULL THEN hri.DOC_NUMBER 
                ELSE '' 
            END AS VARCHAR)
        ORDER BY h.ins_date DESC
    ) AS row_num
FROM 
    hri
JOIN 
    h ON /* specify your join condition here */

Key Points

  • The ROW_NUMBER() function is preserved.
  • The partitioning logic is maintained using concatenated fields.
  • Ordering is specified as per original logic by ins_date DESC.
  • Ensure you complete the SQL with the correct join condition between the hri and h tables.

This SQL code will function equivalently to the provided code snippet, providing the same row numbering logic based on the specified partition and order criteria.
