## What it does
**SQL Query Description**
==========================

### Overview

The provided SQL query retrieves distinct rows from the `Process` table, ordered by a specific column.

### Breakdown

#### SELECT Clause

```sql
SELECT DISTINCTROW Process.*
```

*   The `SELECT DISTINCTROW` clause specifies that only unique rows should be returned.
*   The `Process.*` syntax selects all columns (`*`) from the `Process` table.

#### FROM Clause

```sql
FROM Process
```

*   This clause specifies the table to retrieve data from, which is the `Process` table.

#### ORDER BY Clause

```sql
ORDER BY Mid$([PartNumber],4);
```

*   The `ORDER BY` clause sorts the retrieved rows in ascending order based on a specified column.
*   The `Mid$` function extracts a specific substring from the `PartNumber` column:
    *   `$(` denotes the start of an expression enclosed within parentheses.
    *   `Mid$` is likely an alias for the `SUBSTRING` or `LEFT`/`RIGHT` functions in SQL Server.
    *   The first argument to `Mid$` is `PartNumber`, and the second argument is `4`.
        *   The `4` means that 4 positions from the beginning of the string are extracted.
