Is there any way to make a SELECT return an extra field that is a sequential number for the tuples that are returned?
I am trying to populate a table with an INSERT SELECT and would like to make one of the fields a sequence starting with 1 for the first tuple and incromenting. I don't want the field to be a unique index. As the query is run again and again I want more tuples appended to the table and each time the counter should start at 1 and count up.
