Re: Number the lines

Am I right in assuming you were asking for 
something like 
SELECT Rownumbering(), ... FROM <Table> ORDER BY <Column> ; 
and expecting a result like 1| ... 2| ...3| ...
... 
where Rownumbering() is a PostgreSQL function 

If this is what you wanted, this is something 
I want for a long time too. 
Maybe we should stick together and tell the 
PostgreSQL hackers about our wish. 
Or maybe something like this already exists, 
but we haven't noticed yet.
