This would seem more on topic on Database Administrators. Voting to migrate.

comment Find “n” consecutive free numbers from table
@boobiq: Do you want one per id_set or just one? Please update your question if this was meant as its part from the beginning. (So that others can see the full requirements and offer their suggestions or update their answers.)

comment Find “n” consecutive free numbers from table
I can see no problem with that. The appearance of the data sample very clearly suggests that the numbers are unique and consecutive. If they aren't what they seem then it's the OP's responsibility to make sure we are not deceived by the looks of things, even though it is never a bad idea to spell out your assumptions (which you did). So, I will still say this is a nice solution for a specific design.

No window functions, very nice! Although I think it should be M.number-consec+1 (e.g. for 10 it would need to be 10-3+1=8).

comment Issue with ROW_NUMBER and DISTINCT
This demo doesn't show any difference. What am I missing?

comment Issue with ROW_NUMBER and DISTINCT
For one thing, the TOP in the query you've posted is unreliable, because it is not accompanied with an ORDER BY. However, have you tried this? The TOP wouldn't affect the results, although if you insist, you can just add it in at the same level as in your query.

Which ID should go with each distinct Dept? And do you need the IDs to begin with?

comment Update a table field with another table field
Right. Will you tell us which column in table_3 can be used to link to table_2? Or should we guess? :)

In order to use a third table to link the first two, the third table must have common columns with both of the other two tables. It is not enough if it can be linked to just one of them.

‘I am trying something like this:’ – something like what? Did you remove your attempted query accidentally or intentionally?
