/*
I ask you to help me create a query (or Script) in the database (PostgreSQL). 
  I want to write values in the "number" column, 
  and so that it increases by 1 value for each unique client. 
  I've searched all t he data on the Internet, 
  but I still can't figure out how to do it right?

My db looks like this:
*/
create table your_table (
  id int primary key, 
  number int, 
  client_id text, 
  amount numeric);
insert into your_table values
(193079,	NULL,	'001',	100900.00)
,(193080,	NULL,	'002',	81900.00)
,(193081,	NULL,	'003',	76400.00)
,(193082,	NULL,	'004',	64800.00)
,(193083,	NULL,	'001',	51200.00)
,(193084,	NULL,	'002',	111348.57)
,(193085,	NULL,	'002',	159962.87)
,(193086,	NULL,	'003',	379492.86)

,(193089,	NULL,	'001',	465358.30)
,(193090,NULL,	'003',	125358.30)
returning *;
--What I want is to wryte single "Update" query or script 
--that will modity my table like this:
/*

I don't quite understand, should I use sequence and nextval functinality/correctly? Even If, I can/must use "sequence and nextval", I don't know how to use them properly! Please help me!

I am using DBeaver to connect into my DB. I tried several types of Update:
