Hello,

 

here my two pence on this recurring thema.

 

(just a workaround)

I don't understand what you mean by missing ROWNUM feature, PG got this with windows-functions in 8.4:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/functions-window.html

Example:
select username, row_number() over() from my_user_table;
  username   | row_number
-------------+------------
 admin       |          1
 everyone    |          2
