Hi all.
Is there any way to build a query with a field that has the IndexCount  
of the query.
It's something like the number of the row returned (starting with 1).
Something like:
 select * from mytable order by name; id  |  name   | CountField 7   | KK      | 1 98  | LL      | 2 5   | ZZ      | 3
 select * from mytable order by id; id  | name    | CountField 5   | ZZ      | 1 7   | KK      | 2 98  | LL      | 3

I was thinking to create a sequence: create temporary sequence MYSEQUENCE increment 1 MINVALUE 1;
And put this sequence as field "nextval('mysequence')": select *,nextval('mysequence') from mytable;
But I think its not the best way to do this! Couse I need to set  
sequence value to 1 everytime.

Can Someone help me?
Thanks
