Sqlite query for getting index from sorted result

Question

I need to make a sql query were in I have a table which consists below columns

id    Name        Color
1     Water       red
5     Sun         blue Light
7     Fire        green
10    Wter       red
21    Son         blue Light
24    Fore        green

So the requirement is I have a record say

5     Sun         blue Light

Now I need to get the index of above record from the sorted result of the Name. Say below can be the select query.

SELECT * FROM  MYTABLENAME WHERE COLOR LIKE “blue/%” ORDER BY Name ASC

Note:- I cannot load all the records in my memory and iterate as the records can be huge at times. So need to come up with a query that gives the exact indexof the record without loading the records.

Thanks In advance

Answer 1

If you haven't stored the sort result in a temporary table, the only way to do this is to count how many records would be sorted before this record:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM MYTABLENAME
WHERE COLOR LIKE “blue/%”
  AND Name <= 'Sun'
