snowflake.snowpark.functions.monotonically_increasing_id(sign: int = 0) → Column[source] (https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowpark-python/blob/v1.16.0/src/snowflake/snowpark/functions.py#L1622-L1639)¶

Returns a sequence of monotonically increasing integers, with wrap-around which happens after largest representable integer of integer width 8 byte.

Parameters:

sign – When 0, the sequence continues at 0 after wrap-around. When 1, the sequence continues at smallest representable 8 byte integer. Defaults to 0.

  generate sequences.

Example::

>>> df = session.generator(seq8(0), rowcount=3)
>>> df.collect()
[Row(SEQ8(0)=0), Row(SEQ8(0)=1), Row(SEQ8(0)=2)]
