Hi List,
I have one table something like this
Name Age
=================
tom 20
ram 25
shyam 30
balram 15
hari 10
Now i want serial number of a record.
Suppose if i will fire a query "select Name from tablename where age=30".
it will give output "shyam" but i also want record no. other then oid, in
this case it is 3.
is it possible?
if yes then how?
plz. help me.
Thanks
Ashok

This depends. Does the record have a serialno field? If not, you
can do it with a temporary sequence. But you should be aware that
this "serial number" as you call it changes from result to result in
that case.
