How would I create an artificial row number in a select statement?

example: select @rownum=@rownum+1, column from table

Thanks,

Christian

[code]USE Pubs
SELECT COUNT(e1.emp_id) as [record #], e1.emp_id , e1.fname, e1.lname
FROM employee AS e1
INNER JOIN employee AS e2 ON e1.emp_id >= e2.emp_id
group by e1.emp_id , e1.fname , e1.lname
order by e1.emp_id[/code]

THanks. This solution seems rather slow. Any more high performance way to accomplish this?

If this is SQL 2005, its said to be direct.
In SQL 2000, check the following :

Where do you want to show the data?
Use front end application to number the result. Just send data to client application
