Sequence number, row number of the record

When using MySQL DB as a source and in case of multiple transactions done in the same commit cycle, there is no way to know the sequence of executed transactions.


In the journal control fields, there is a commit cycle id (CCID), this is same for multiple transactions in the same batch. In the same vein, if there a sequence number to show the transaction number in the respective commit cycle.

For eg: If a transaction batch has these

DELETE

INSERT

UPDATE

Then the sequence number would be 1-DELETE, 2-INSERT, 3-UPDATE, with the output being datastage, the UPDATE would produce 2 records, so B & A can be depicted as 3 and 4 respectively.
