It is possible to do this with a complex, but straight UPDATE statement. However, my hunch is that the below is simpler:

execute block as
  declare variable i integer;
  declare variable PK <whatever>;
  i = 1;
  for select <PrimaryKey> 
      from table
      where year = 2010
      order by month, <PrimaryKey>
      into :PK do
  begin
      update table
         set "POS" = i
      where <PrimaryKey> = :PK;
      i = i + 1;
  end
end

HTH,
Set

Hello,

How can I increment consisting records like this:

Year  month   order         pos
2010  2                 1        null
2010  2                 1        null
2010  2                 1        null
2010  3                 2       null

Pos should be auto increment for all 2010 2 records, null to 1, the second
record null to 2 til 4

Update table set pos = coalesce(pos,0)+1 where year = 2010 and month = 2
works not, all records have the pos=1 value

Thank you

Best regards

Olaf
