there is no such things as row number of a table. Records are not stored in any particular order in a table. The sequence of order of records retrieves is determine by the ORDER BY clause in your SELECT statement.If you are using SQL Server 2005, you can use the ROW_NUMBER() function to show the row no but the it is still depending on the ORDER BY clause.
