Yeah, I already got that far but it's just short of what I need as an
end result.

Is there a way to generate a "line number" for a query return within the
returned rows??

For instance, if I return 5 rows from a query, is there a command or
function I can put in a query to add a column that contains the row
number returned?

Select somecommand(),blah, blew from table where blah > 1;

+-----------+-----------+-----------+
| row           | blah  | blew  | 
+-----------+-----------+-----------+
| row           | blah  | blew  | 
| row           | blah  | blew  | 
| row           | blah  | blew  | 
| row           | blah  | blew  |
