Re: Numbering rows in SQL result set

have let SQL do it instead of doing it myself.

If you are reading the SQL results in a program just create a counter that
increments each time you retrieve a row.  You are probably doing this
already if you are using a multiple occurance DS.  If you aren't reading
the results in a program then obviously that won't work ;)
