I left the over clause empty. Based on your suggestion, I tried the following:

SELECT row_number() over (
                      order by
                                            fillline_a.id<http://fillline_a.id>,
                                            
(st_dumppoints(fillline_a.geom)).path,
                                            
st_x((st_dumppoints(fillline_a.geom)).geom),
                                            
st_y((st_dumppoints(fillline_a.geom)).geom)
                      ) as id,
(fillline_a.z)::real AS z,
(st_dumppoints(fillline_a.geom)).path[1] as p,
st_x((st_dumppoints(fillline_a.geom)).geom) as x,
st_y((st_dumppoints(fillline_a.geom)).geom) as y,
((st_dumppoints(fillline_a.geom)).geom)::geometry(Point,3057) AS geom
FROM v0103.fillline_a

The problem here is that everything in the over clause remains constant for 
each line and therefore the row_number is not incremented for each point. Maybe 
I am doing something wrong. Anyway, I wonder if it should count as a bug in 
QGIS that I can use the nextval() method to see the correctly constructed view 
when listed as a table in DB Manager but not on the map canvas. Anyway, I found 
a simple way around the numbering problem:

with t as (
select  z, (st_dumppoints(fillline_a.geom)).geom from v0103.fillline_a)
select row_number() over () as id, z, geom from t

Problem solved :)
Thanks for the input.

It would help to see how you used row_number and what field you put in it.

You could create row_number after the dumping
select row_number() OVER (ORDER BY path,st_x,st_y.......) AS id, *
 from
(select .ST_DumpPoints..... from  ...)

Thanks for the suggestion Karl.
I have used row_number() also but in the case of dumping vertex points from a 
line, multiple points are created from each line feature and therefore, the 
row_number is repeated for all points on the same line.

Hi!
I’ve used something like this to get unique Ids:
SELECT row_number() OVER (ORDER BY s.omrade_id, s.kod) AS id, …. ORDER BY 
s.omrade_id, s.kod;

If the ordering isn’t necessary I guess you can skip that.

Ämne: [Qgis-user] Unique IDs in a PostGIS view

I am trying to create a view that extracts vertices from lines using 
ST_DumpPoints and to get unique IDs I have set up a sequence to generate the 
numbers using nextval(). The query executes normally in the DB Mananger and I 
see the results as a table in the table view. However, when I attempt to load 
the results of the view as a layer in QGIS, I get an error: "Database error: 
ERROR:  cannot execute nextval() in a read-only transaction". No features are 
loaded.
Are there any smart tricks out there to work around this or other means of 
generating the IDs?
