Read Original

This technical article explains how to simulate SQL window functions, like ROW_NUMBER(), in MySQL 5.7 using local variables and procedural tricks. It details the method's implementation, demonstrates its fragility with examples like using DISTINCT, and warns about its deprecation in MySQL 8. It's aimed at developers stuck on older MySQL versions who need advanced SQL functionality.
