Jeff, You don't tell us which database. If its Oracle then there is ROWID. Using some sort of record number is good for linking tables as it a primary/foreign key, but otherwise why would you want it? If you do not have such a field as this at present (and want one), you could always add one (ALTER TABLE ADD ColName....).
This really is a pure sql question, not relevant to php and this list. HTH Chris Jeff Field wrote: >I would like to have a column returned in a query that tells you which >record I'm looking at?
