If you just want a number to come back try this   create temp sequence temp seq  SELECT inline v1 ROWNUM inline v1 c1 FROM   select nextval  temp seq   as ROWNUM  c1  from sometable  inline v1    You can add a order by to the inline v1 SQL so your ROWNUM has some sequential meaning to your data   select nextval  temp seq   as ROWNUM  c1  from sometable ORDER BY c1 desc    Might not be the fastest  but it s an option if you really do need them

Postgresql does not have an equivalent of Oracle s ROWNUM  In many cases you can achieve the same result by using LIMIT and OFFSET in your query

If you have a unique key  you may use COUNT    OVER   ORDER BY unique key   as ROWNUM  SELECT t    count    OVER  ORDER BY k   ROWNUM  FROM yourtable t     k       n   rownum    --- ------- --------    a   TEST1        1     b   TEST2        2     c   TEST2        3     d   TEST4        4     DEMO
