In (most) SQL servers there is no concept of 'row number'. Most DA's design
tables with a unique primary key. This can be used to identify the row form
all of the other rows but it is not the same as a 'row number'.

Since you are using PHP you can set a counter to 1 before your loop and then
increment it at each loop. This will give you the semblance of a row number
but be aware it is not the same.  These are row numbers within the cursor
you are looking at.  If your cursor is a subset of the table's data then the
numbers you are counting do not correspond to the data in the table.
