How do you add a column that increments on the fly those fields
you've selected to print in a mysql query?
 
Example:
 
  select count(g.Group_ID) as Number, g.Description,
  sum(i.Retail_Value) from Groups g, Item i where i.Group_ID =
  g.Group_ID and i.Group_ID <> 0 group by i.Group_ID order by
  i.Category_ID;
 
My intention was to have the Number field simple be a number that
increments by one for each line that prints out.  But, of course,
the documentation says that's not what the "count" function is
for.  
 
How can I add a simple little old line counter?
