Hi i am using ROW_NUMBER() OVER but i have a problem which i am not sure what to do..

currently i am using
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY content_date DESC) AS rownum - the problem is some dates are the same so i get a error when it trys to insert into the temp table.

what i would like to do is this if its possible...

select content_date, content_title
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY **current row count**) AS rownum
INTO #tmp_tbl
from content
order by content_date desc

i am not sure how i would get a current row count but its the only way i can see it working, any ideas?

well a duplicate error, does ROW_NUMBER() need to be a unquie value??

if i have 10 dates the same then this causes the issue

select ... into #tmp_tbl from ...
cannot bring up a duplicate error.

Please show us what you're really doing.

duplicate error? are you using this query alone or is this part of a batch?
