This would work....

with TmpTable as                                                      
        (select name greatones )
select rrn(TmpTable), name
from TmpTable


Only problem would be if you wanted to use an "order by name" it would need
to in the TmpTable select and I'm not positive that that is allowed.

May want to look in the archives for other ideas, I seem to remember this
coming up before.

HTH,
Charles
