Hi,
 
I would like to select and also give numbering in each record.
Let say I have table 'City' with a 'cityname' column
 
what is the select statement so I can get result records like this
 
no   cityname
----  --------------
1     NEW YORK
2     LOS ANGELES
3     HOUSTON
4     ....
5     ...
 
Thank you.
 
Yudie
